Johannesburg - When the Spice Girls told us what they wanted with their hit song Wannabe in 1996, they wanted simple things.
Using the same song 20 years later, girls and women around the world are letting us know what they need.
They want to end violence against girls and child marriages, and they want quality education and equal pay for equal work.
All these causes are summed up in a viral video that’s heading to a million views on YouTube.
The UN's Project Everyone is using the remake of the Wannabe video to tell world leaders what girls and women really, really want in 2016 to achieve the Global Goals.
The video – featuring artists from India, Nigeria, the UK, the US, Canada and South Africa – was shot in Mumbai in India, Cape Town and London.
Local rapper Gigi LaMayne makes a cameo appearance. LaMayne and songstress Moneoa also feature alongside Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez from Sri Lanka and Nigerian record producer and singer-songwriter Seyi Shay.
The video, titled #WhatIReallyReallyWant, was directed by MJ Delaney of Moxie Pictures and is kicking off an online campaign that encourages people everywhere to share a picture on social media of #WhatIReallyReallyWant for girls and women.
The responses will be shown when world leaders gather in New York in September for the UN General Assembly and the inaugural Global Goals Week.
It is set to be released in cinemas in more than 30 countries from this month to October.
Last year, the Global Goals Campaign song, #TellEverybody, included African artists like Mafikizolo, Yemi Alade, Sauti Sol, Becca, Ice Prince, Diamond, Sarkodie and Toofan, as well as producers like Cobhams Asuquo and Ellputo.
Global Goals is a plan by the UN to end poverty, fix climate change and address inequalities over the next 15 years.
