“Gender equality is one of the fundamental values of the United Nations and lies at the very heart of human rights,” Women’s Rights and Gender Section of United Nations Human Rights chief Veronica Birga said in a video message. “That is why we are the global partner of We All Rise, an exciting new initiative committed to promoting, protecting, and advancing the human rights of all women and girls around the world. Because gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, it is essential to achieving a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world.”
On Monday, the initiative released its theme song “Together We Are Stronger,” performed by KT Tunstall, Lolo, Devyn De Loera, and Nikki Vianna. The song was written by Morgan Dorr, Greg Hansen, and Devyn De Loera, and produced by the Highland Park Collective.
