UN Women is leveraging the 2020 anniversaries by identifying strategies to address the pushback
against the rights and equality agenda and chart the way forward to promote greater action with
key funding commitments and enhance accountability for the implementation of the gender
equality commitments. In this regard, UN Women is organizing a civil society-centered, multistakeholder global gathering for gender equality - the Generation Equality Forum.

Equality moment on the sidelines of the ICPD+25 and bring to the fore, the nexus between
these agendas, with a focus on young people.
2. To amplify the experiences and aspirations of young Kenyan women and men on gender
equality 25 years after Beijing PfA
3. Mobilize partnerships in support of Generation Equality campaign from amongst civil

commitment. The session will then open up for responses from UN Women, the government and
member states present. Engagement with the audience will then follow. The moderator may
share some overall guiding points for the open discussion to drive it towards conclusive

"I applaud the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal – and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
~ Barack Obama

Animal Equality joined forces with The Humane League in Chicago to protest McDonald’s for 6 straight days starting August 20th, culminating on August 25th with a gallery opening to display THL’s Unhappy Meal installation.
The week starting with a singing telegram provided by Compassion Over Killing. The song sung was a plea to McDonald’s to finally adopt basic animal protections for chickens in its supply chain.
We then leafletted daily in front of McDonald’s HQ, every day backed by our digital mobile billboard depicting chickens in distress with the slogan “What Unhappy Meals Are Made Of” and “McDonald’s: Ban Chicken Abuse.”
On August 22nd we joined THL for a light-show protest, holding lighted signs on a pedestrian bridge overlooking Lake Shore Drive. The sign read #ImNotLovinIt and reached hundreds of passersby during the hour we demonstrated.
On August 23rd, our coalition held a protest which started in downtown Chicago at the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture (known as the Bean). Alongside over 30 activists, we then marched a mile with our signs depicting chicken cruelty through downtown and the Riverwalk ending up at the new Rock N Roll McDonald’s, passing hundreds of people in the process. Our protest continued for the next hour at the restaurant, with leafletting and our digital mobile billboard parked in front.

This week I had Alec Skeebo in the studio. Although the scheduling was difficult, I got her to model for me in a variety of different poses, but mostly with the same expression.
This photo fits into my concentration because it satisfies the requirements in terms of editing and space and still carries the human emotion that is present in the other photos.
