Charice in UN Women’s “One Woman”

One thing I admire about Charice is her being supportive of charitable institutions and inspiring programs. She is one artist who contributes her time and talent to valuable projects. A most recent of which is “One Woman: a song for UN Women.”

“One Woman” is written by Beth Blatt, Graham Lyle, and Fahan Hassan. According to the official website of the song, it is written for UN Women, the global champion for women and girls, to celebrate its mission and work to improve women’s lives around the world. It aims to become the rallying cry that inspires listeners to join the drive for women’s empowerment and gender equality.

The following video from the UN Women YouTube Channel tells the story behind the song.

“One Woman” was  initially performed during the launching of UN Women in the UN General Assembly Hall in 2011. The song, however, will be officially launched on the International Women’s Day this year. The song features 25 artists from 20 countries. Charice is one of them and is representing the Philippines. Please see the other artists and the full credits and lyrics of the song in the bottom part of their website.

The track will be available for download on March 8^th (EST 7 March, 12 noon) on the same website and on Amazon and iTunes for $0.99. All proceeds go directly to UN Women in support of its programs to empower women.

Let’s support this important and inspiring project by downloading “One Woman” and by singing the song together with Charice, the other artists, and all the women around the world. Let’s make “One Woman” a rallying cry indeed!
