Jennifer Lopez Named Global Advocate for Girls and Women

Jennifer Lopez was named Global Advocate for girls and Women by the UN Foundation. What do you think? Is she a good role model for women? Why? Who would you name?

Level: B1 and above

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Jennifer Lopez:

“I am happy to be joining the UN Foundation and eager to lend my voice and ensure that all girls and women are safe, healthy, educated and empowered. Becoming a mother has made me more aware of the struggles of women and children throughout the world. While some progress has been made, there is still a lot more work that needs to be done for gender equality and universal access to medical care.”

 

WORDS TO KNOW
