Woman This Month - August 2016

www.womanthismonth.com August 2016 30 Project Everyone, in partnership with Getty Images and SAWA, the global cinema advertising association, will see the release of “#WhatIReallyReallyWant” as part of the Global Goals campaign for girls and women. MJ Delaney, of Moxie Pictures, directs a remake of the Spice Girls’ Wannabe which features Gigi Lamayne and Moneoa from South Africa, Seyi Shay from Nigeria, M.O from the UK, Taylor Hatala from Canada, Larsen Thompson from the USA and, of course, Bahrain’s own Bollywood babe Jacqueline Fernandez who hails from Sri Lanka but represents India and was born and brought up in the Kingdom. In September 2016, world leaders will mark the first anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. These global goals are a mighty plan to end poverty, fix climate change and address inequalities over the next 15 years, but they will only succeed if they address the needs of the most marginalised first, particularly those of girls and women. Issues such as quality education, an end to violence, an end to child marriage and equal pay for equal work need to be top of every government’s agenda in order to give the Goals the best possible start. Project Everyone marks 20 years of Girl Power with an updated version of Wannabe and the tagline “#WhatIReallyReallyWant”. The film reflects the voices of girls and women all over the world and aims to get them speaking out. The film #WhatIReallyReallyWant is online on Global Goals’ official YouTube channel:https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=sZQ2RUFd54o&feature= youtu.be. Find out about the global goals at www.womanthismonth.com. Two decades on, a remake of the Spice Girls’ Wannabe video, featuring artists from India, Nigeria, South Africa, UK, USA and Canada, is being produced to tell world leaders what girls and women really really want in 2016 to achieve the UN’s Global Goals.
