FIRST ARTICLE =UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson= British actor Emma Watson was appointed UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in July 2014. The accomplished actor, humanitarian and recent graduate of Brown University will dedicate her efforts towards the empowerment of young women and will serve as an advocate for UN Women’s HeForShe campaign in promoting gender equality.

At just 24 years of age, Emma has already been involved in the promotion of girls’ education for several years and previously visited Bangladesh and Zambia as part of her humanitarian efforts. She has worked to promote fair trade and organic clothing and served as an ambassador for Camfed International, a movement to educate girls in rural Africa.“Being asked to serve as UN Women’s Goodwill Ambassador is truly humbling,” said Emma. “The chance to make a real difference is not an opportunity that everyone is given and is one I have no intention of taking lightly. Women’s rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can’t imagine an opportunity more exciting. I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience and awareness to this role.”

About Emma Watson
Emma is best known for her role as the iconic character of Hermione Granger in the globally successful “Harry Potter” films. Her performance in the first film of the series, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,” won her a Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actor. Since the completion of the eight-film series, Emma has shown her versatility as a performer with her first screen roles, including the 2011 Golden Globe–nominated “My Week with Marilyn” and the 2012 award-winning coming-of-age film “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” for which Emma picked up the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actor and Best Supporting Actor Award at the San Diego Film Critics Society Awards for her role.

Emma was most recently seen in “The Bling Ring,” the apocalypse comedy “This is the End,” and the epic biblical tale, “Noah.” Her upcoming projects include “Regression” opposite Ethan Hawke and the film adaptation of “The Queen of the Tearling.”

In 2012 Emma was honoured with the Calvin Klein Emerging Star Award at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards, and in 2013 she was awarded both the Trailblazer Award at the MTV Movie Awards and the GQ Woman of the Year Award. - See more at: http://www.unwomen.org/en/partnerships/goodwill-ambassadors/emma-watson#sthash.xQiNHjeY.dpuf

 * Date :** 12 July 2013

New York Pakistani education activist and violence survivor Malala Yousafzai will mark her 16th birthday on 12 July 2013 at United Nations headquarters by giving her first high-level public appearance and statement on the importance of education.

Malala became a public figure when she was shot by the Taliban while travelling to school last year in Pakistan – targeted because of her committed campaigning for the right of all girls to an education. Her birthday was declared as “Malala Day” and will be observed internationally for the first time this Friday. This Friday, the President of the General Assembly and the UN Special Envoy for Global Education with the support of the non-profit organization A World at School are organizing the UN Youth Assembly, where more than 500 young leaders from around the world will convene to accelerate efforts to get all children, especially girls, in school by 2015.

The event is in support of the UN Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI)—a five-year global initiative to mobilize efforts and action for education and rally a global movement to achieve quality, relevant and inclusive education for all by 2015. As a member of the Steering Committee that provides strategic direction to the initiative, UN Women has contributed to ensuring that gender equality and women’s rights dimensions of education are prioritized in all efforts.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UN Women Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director John Hendra will also attend. Malala Yousafzai will speak at 9:45 a.m. EST. The Assembly will be webcast live on UN Web TV: http://webtv.un.org/ - See more at: http://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2013/7/malala-day-event#sthash.RhGQtKRc.dpuf

THIRD ARTICLE =South Sudanese Women Call for their Full Engagement in the Development Planning for South Sudan=


 * Date :** 13 December 2011

//UN Women and the Institute for Inclusive Society host Gender Symposium to put forward policy recommendations ahead of International Engagement Conference// On the eve of the first international meeting on the future of South Sudan, women leaders from the world's newest nation today put forth concrete policy recommendations on development, security and governance priorities for their country. These recommendations were developed at the Gender Symposium co-hosted by The Institute for Inclusive Security and UN Women, where South Sudanese women leaders from the government and civil society deliberated on development issues central to women's lives. The recommendations will contribute directly to the discussions at the [|South Sudan International Engagement Conference] (IEC) starting tomorrow in Washington DC, which will focus global attention on the post-separation priorities of South Sudan. It will shape the South Sudan Development Plan, the foundation and primary source of the country's social, economic, and political policies. The South Sudan International Engagement Conference will encourage private sector investors and development aid donors to enter into a new relationship with South Sudan — as partners for peace and development. “This is a vital opportunity to ensure that the next few years of stabilization bring opportunities, and don't reinforce or create new types of exclusion, said Sarah James, Chairperson of the South Sudan Women's General Association. In other countries where war has ended, post conflict recovery and private sector development have most often returned power and economic opportunities to male elites. The Gender Symposium made a wide range of recommendations to ensure this does not happen in South Sudan. Their recommendations covered the major topics of the IEC: human capacity development, basic social service delivery, governance, private sector engagement, petroleum revenue management, physical infrastructure, and mobilizing aid in support of South Sudan. During the symposium's deliberations women stressed that investment in South Sudan's future requires investments in women's capacities as workers, citizens, and members of families and communities. Although women made over 40 specific recommendations they highlighted four proposed initiatives as immediate priorities: Women in South Sudan have always been integral to the development of their country. During the civil war, women continually came together across borders to advocate for peace and played a critical role as agents of change. The Gender Symposium has been an opportunity for South Sudanese women leaders to leverage their vast experience and skills, and contribute concrete recommendations which can shape the development of their new nation. “Women played such a central role during our long liberation struggle — we fought, we held together communities, policymaker Honourable Angelina Tenny said. She added: “We have a lot to offer. Women have invested everything they have in South Sudan's independence. We are setting the agenda and defining women's role in nation building, peace and development. We must invest in women, for peace and development. - See more at: http://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2011/12/south-sudanese-women-call-for-their-full-engagement-in-the-development-planning-for-south-sudan#sthash.QyUuqEz3.dpuf
