Empowering women through Spice Girls’ 1996 hit ‘Wannabe’ remake, Campaign inspires today’s women to get what they ‘really, really’ want

“Wannabe,” the popular 1996 hit song of Spice Girls, has made a comeback and it’s all over Facebook feeds and other social media sites. The reason for its comeback is most-inspiring. The organisation The Global Goals has remade the music video to highlight major issues affecting women globally.

The inspiring video clip features messages such as “Equal pay for equal work,” “End violence against girls,” “End child marriage” and “Quality education for all girls.”

Victoria Beckham viewed the video and appreciated the effort of the organisation. She shared it and since then it has received more than 27 million views.

“20 years on — Girl Power being used to empower a new generation. I’m so proud of The Global Goals #‎WhatIReallyReallyWant,” Victoria captioned the video.

The Global Goals roped in celebrity performers for the campaign to encourage girls to share what they really, really want. The video uploaded on YouTube encourages women to hold up a sign with the hashtag #WhatIReallyReallyWant and the message.

The campaign is part of the Project Everyone campaign, which is a United Nations-supported coalition of independent and corporate groups pushing a series of UN global goals. The video has been launched as part of the Project Everyone's The Global Goals website.

Celebrities featured in the video are Taylor Hatala from Canada, British girl band M.O., Gigi Lamayne and Monoea from South Africa, Larsen Thompson from the US, Seyi Shay from Nigeria and Bollywood bombshell Jacqueline Fernandez from Sri Lanka, reports the ABC.

“This is about modern day girl power. 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,” said the video's director MJ Delaney.
