E! Online Skeptic Nomorefan:
Political Dunce




















nomorefan: Here ya go folks - don't know if you seen this hot news story. Now this is something a very dedicated, hard-working Goodwill Ambassador of UNIFEM would be working on right now. This is the most barbaric abuse a female could have done. Can anyone tell me what Baby Girl BBQ is doing to save these women from being stoned to death - yes I said stoned to death - buried in a hole with their arms in the hole - nothing for them to try and shield their face from stones being thrown at it! But this would mean Baby Girl BBQ would have to go to Iran!


Considering that Iran already has the presence of UN/UNIFEM and other grassroots social groups working quietly within its borders, but the country will not agree to be part of CEDAW (the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women), will not look to the rest of the world and see its progress and prosperity where women are equal to men, what good would sending a white Western woman to try to overthrow the laws of one of the most oppressive countries? Yes nomorefan thinks a UN celebrity ambassador is supposed to and should be able to essentially overturn one of the most anti-female governments and ways of life in the entire world.

To put it in perspective.....

Time and time again, the committees made up of clerics and religious leaders in Iran have veto power on anything that promotes women's rights. Things like CEDAW have been pushed in Parliament but are shot down because they are deemed contradictory to Islamic principles. However the Islamic principles are determined and interpreted by each country's religious leaders which is why you have varying degrees of freedom in each Middle Eastern country. Iran is one of the most offending against ALL people and this year's riots in that country couldn't illustrate it better.

But a UNIFEM ambassador who is not a religious leader, not a politician, and most importantly a woman, is supposed to be able to "fix things" in Iran.

nomorefan you are a world class moron!


nomorefan: What's Baby Girl BBQ's stance on this barbaric situation?


You don't really care and that's a fact, jack!

Exciting New Nicole Kidman Website!












Thanks to the fan site NicolesMagic for tweeting this...Nicole now has an OFFICIAL website dedicated to her UNIFEM ambassadorship and charity work!


NicoleKidmanOfficial.com

The site is in its beginning stage but there's a introductory letter from Nicole, bio and pictures of her UNIFEM work. Also there's a Facebook page link and a signup box where you can help support UNIFEM.


Letter From Nicole

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting to my new site! I am very excited about the opportunity to share an important part of my life with you — my role as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, and my personal commitment to ending violence against women, eliminating gender inequality, and empowering women around the world.

As a Goodwill Ambassador and the international spokesperson for UNIFEM’s Say NO – UNiTE To End Violence against Women initiative, I have seen first-hand the horrible impact of war on women in Kosovo, testified before the US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, and worked to create a wide-spread understanding of these concerns throughout the media. My experiences so far have been enlightening and rewarding, but there is so much more I can and want to do.

I am not a technophile by any means, and all of this is very new (and a little scary) to me. However, I recognize that the Internet has the power to reach people worldwide and the importance of this cause has motivated me to reach out to fans, like you, to ask for your help.

Today, I ask you to join me in helping women worldwide who have suffered unthinkable violence. Please sign up and pledge to take action by filling out the form on this site. It only takes a moment. We’ll be posting other ways in which you can help, here and on my Facebook page. Please connect with me on these sites so that you’ll always be the first to know. Women around the world need our help, and together, we can make a difference in countless lives.

Always,

Nic





Good onya Nicole!

New UN Message With Nicole Kidman



Produced by UN Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict (UN Action), this international public service announcement is a call to stop rape now. This PSA features UN Messenger of Peace Charlize Theron, UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman, Ex-Force Commander Major General Patrick Cammaert, Leymah Gbowee from the Women Peace and Security Network, and Director of Panzi Hospital Dr. Denis Mukwege.

UN Action is a network of thirteen UN entities working to end conflict-related sexual violence through a concerted effort to improve coordination, amplify advocacy and support national efforts to prevent sexual violence and respond effectively to the needs of survivors. UN Action embodies the UN system response to Security Council resolutions 1820 and 1888, recognizing sexual violence as a tactic of war and impediment to the restoration of peace. UN Action is headed by a Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Margot Wallström. For more information, please visit
