Hasta La Motion!

The United Nations’ Global Goals has launched #WhatIReallyReallyWant, a music video applying the Spice Girls 1996 hit “Wannabe”, to highlight key issues facing women and girls around the world. The performers are shown in four different settings, promoting quality education for women, an end to violence against women, an end to child marriage and equal pay for equal work. The music video stars Gigi Lamayne and Moneoa from South Africa, Seyi Shay from Nigeria, Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez from Sri Lanka, M.O from the UK, Taylor Hawala from Canada and Larsen Thompson from the USA. The Global Goals Girls Wannabe music video will be shown in cinemas across the world through a deal with SAWA, the global cinema advertising association. Viewers are called to join in the campaign online at globalgoals.org, by sharing a picture of #WhatIReallyReallyWant for girls and women. Responses will be shown to world leaders at the UN General Assembly during Global Goals Week in September 2016.

“This is about modern day girl power,” said MJ Delaney, who directed the film. “The Spice Girls were about a group of different women joining together and being stronger through that bond. These differences are what we want to celebrate in this film, while showing there are some universal things that all girls, everywhere, really, really want.”
