UN Free and Equal Campaign prepares Video launch for IDAHOT

As part of its ongoing UN Free & Equal campaign, the UN Human Rights Office plans to launch a new music video for IDAHOT 2016, produced in collaboration with the singer Rachel Platten. The video, called “Why We Fight”, is a tribute to global activism and features specially shot footage of individuals, families, advocates and allies in countries around the world. The video will be launched several days before IDAHOT and be made available via the UN Free & Equal campaign website (www.unfe.org) and via the campaign’s social media accounts. Last year’s UN Free & Equal video for IDAHOT, “Faces”, was watched by an estimated 10 million people across YouTube, Facebook and Weibo. More information: unfe@ohchr.org
