storytelling, both in terms of format and
venue, taking advantage of new platforms, such as Exposure or Medium. In
addition, the Office developed unique
visual messaging for various communications products and produced
many social media-only stories in an
immersive mobile format. In the second half of 2019, multilingual accounts
were created in French (facebook.

(facebook.com/onuderechoshumanos

• In March, OHCHR and the UN in
Cambodia partnered with a local pop
celebrity, Laura Mam, her all-women
production company, the Embassies
of Australia, Sweden and the United
Kingdom, the Swiss Development
Cooperation and SMART telecommunications, to organize a concert
celebrating female artists, music and
dance in Cambodia. Through the
concert and a special music video
that was produced for International
Women’s Day, the campaign generated
221,000 live views through Facebook
live streaming and 1.1M views in total.
Leading up to the concert, televised
round-table discussions with women
leaders and influencers expanded the
understanding of critical barriers to
women’s empowerment and gender
equality in Cambodia.
• As part of its general communication objective to change the way
that the Office communicates, the
Central America Regional Office in
Panama worked with the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Panama (MAC
Panama) to create a space that would
enable the general public to interact
with the 30 articles of the UDHR and
76 UN HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2019
raise awareness about the need to
stand up for human rights. For this
project, which consisted of a sixweek exhibition, the Central America
Regional Office and MAC Panama
requested 30 graphic designers and
illustrators (gender-balanced, most of
whom were under the age of 30) to
create 30 posters: one poster for each
of the articles of the UDHR. During the
exhibition, the Office carried out several
events to generate traffic from different types of audiences. The events
included a scrapbook workshop to create signs with messages on women’s
rights, especially to eradicate violence
against women, a human rights workshop, a DJ night and a hip hop night
with break dancers and rappers who
sang about human rights. The exhibition closed on 10 January 2020 with
a music event. The exhibition enabled
people to physically interact with the
art and contributed to generating content and attracting the attention of
younger audiences.
• For International Human Rights Day,
the Regional Office for Europe in
Brussels and UNESCO created a youth
podcast, in collaboration with Spotify,
called “The Future We Want” (https://
spoti.fi/2rvYflZ). The podcast was
designed to mobilize youth for human
rights by highlighting the journey of four
youth activists (an activist on persons
with disabilities, an activist on Roma
rights, an educational youtuber and a
climate activist).
