This event will bring together activists and comedians to discuss the ways in which comedy can push forward agendas such as #metoo and contemporary women’s rights movements, and how this effort can translate into meaningful change in women’s lives. The event will also showcase the work of UN Women and Mythos Labs in countering violent extremist recruitment narratives—and their understandings of gender—through comedy. It features a comedy set by renown comedian and actress Aparna Nancherla.
In early 2018, UN Women partnered with Mythos Labs to produce a series of comedy videos to counter the messaging of terrorist groups in the Asia region. Working with female comedians in South Asia and South-East Asia, these sketches challenge the narratives used by violent extremist groups and counter extremist ideology in the online space. While this work was originally piloted to prevent and counter violent extremism, the implications go far beyond this realm. Comedy can and is being used to promote broader themes of women’s empowerment and gender equality, by not just making us laugh, but by challenging stereotypes with a broad and engaged audience.
This project is part of UN Women’s Empowered Women, Peaceful Communities programme, which is funded by the Government of Japan. This programme works in the Asia Pacific region to challenge the gendered dynamics of violent extremism and reverse its growing trend, through prioritizing women’s rights, empowerment, participation and leadership—in national decision-making and at the community level.

On 8 June 2017 in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka together with Vadym Chernysh, Ukranian Minister of Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons, opens a workshop on women’s human rights in recovery and peacebuilding. The workshop aims to bring together an array of partners, including displaced women from the conflict-affected territories, minority women, national and local authorities, the Ombudsperson, civil society organizations and donors to discuss the challenges faced by women in the context of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
The event is part of the Executive Director's first visit to Ukraine and Moldova in June 2017. She used the opportunity to reaffirm UN Women’s commitment to support both countries in their efforts to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

Many rallygoers also waved flags - some American, some in rainbow for gay pride. Some also displayed the flag of California, the state whose law, Proposition 8, was the center of Tuesday's arguments.
To commemorate the passage of marriage equality in New York, I shot this series. It was at the end of a long week that the good news came: Kayla & I had been vacated from our loft with seven hours notice, along with the residents of 45 other apartments in our building. We packed up our apartment in about three days, while looking for a new place and couch surfing. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done, but in the middle of it, when I was sitting on the pavement with the most important of our worldly possessions, our cats, and Kayla, I realized even on the worst days, I am so lucky to have such an incredible partner. And now, thanks to the brave legislators of New York State, my incredible partner can one day become my wife.
Strange fruit was a "nickname" given to the black bodies that swung from the trees. White trash is about as obvious as possible. Thier opposing ideas are painted and easily washed off. But my friend shalisa is faced with this dualing issue everyday when as she is bi-racial. She is the essense of Equality but still the butt of so many Ethnocentric comments.
