BE SEEN BE HEARD WITH THE BODY SHOP AND THE UN
The Body Shop and the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth launch global collaboration calling for more young voices in the halls of power their joint the Be Seen Be Heard campaign.
That’s because millions of young people are missing from public life. With the climate crisis, global conflict and generational inequalities running rampant, the inputs, perspectives and representation of youth are needed more than ever.
Almost half the world's population is under 30. Yet, they make up only 2.6% of parliamentarians around the world. The average age of a world leader is currently 62. Of all the parliaments in the world, 37% do not have a single Member of Parliament (MP) under age 30 and less than 1% of these young MPs are women.
Young people have the right to be included in political decisions that affect them, however, numerous barriers prevent their participation. The Body Shop and the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth are collaborating to change this through the global Be Seen Be Heard campaign to amplify youth voices in public life.
The campaign seeks to create long-term structural changes to decision-making to be more inclusive of young people. It was launched last May 11 with the release of a joint report, ‘Be Seen Be Heard: Understanding young people’s political participation’. The report which includes findings from the largest-ever survey carried out by The Body Shop in December 2021, covering 26 countries with 27,043 respondents in total, over half of which were under age 30.
The research found that 82% of people surveyed agree that political systems need drastic reform to be fit for the future. Across the board, 84% of people described politicians as ‘self-interested’ and 75% of people surveyed think politicians are corrupt.
The majority, two in three people, also agree that the age balance in politics is wrong, with 8 in 10 people of all ages believing the ideal voting age (the age when someone can first vote) is 16 to 18, despite that in most countries around the world the voting age is 18 or over. A third of those under age 30 surveyed would consider running for office versus only a fifth of those over age 30. People across all age groups agree that more opportunities for younger people to have a say in policy development and/or change would make political systems better.
David Boynton, CEO of The Body Shop says, “Our position is clear. The world’s problems cannot be solved by the same people making the same choices. Our research indicates the majority of young people are positive about the future, and we need to hear their views and ideas inside the halls of power. Be Seen Be Heard is rooted in creating a fairer world with and for young people, and together with the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth – we are on a mission to do exactly that.”
Jayathma Wickramanayake, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth says, “The intergenerational gap in power, influence and trust constitutes one of the biggest challenges of our time. As young people have made abundantly clear through their activism on the streets, in civil society and on social media, they care deeply about the transformational change needed to create more equal, just and sustainable societies. Participation is a right, and this campaign is an opportunity to change that.”
The Body Shop and the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth push for transformational change. Among other actions, young people’s participation in public decision-making could be improved long-term by lowering voting ages, increasing formal youth representation through youth councils, parliaments, or committees, removing barriers for young people to participate in public decision-making, simplifying registration for first-time voters, and improving young people’s leadership skills.
Campaigning in 2,600 stores, in over 75 countries, across six continents. The collaboration between The Body Shop and the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth will mean that young people and other stakeholders will be able to engage with the campaign through many routes. Local campaign activations will include partnerships with specific youth-led or youth-focused non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and/or opportunities to support through petitions and other activations.
The campaign launched globally in May 2022 and will run until mid-2025. Check out the campaign website for further information www.beseenbeheardcampaign.com
About The Body Shop
As a B Corp business, The Body Shop is committed to ambitious social and environmental targets. Earlier this year, it established a Youth Collective to help amplify youth voices within its own business. The Body Shop Youth Collective is formed of 10-12 people from inside and outside the business, all aged under 30. They will advise The Body Shop Executive Leadership Team with the views and voices of young people.
The Body Shop invests heavily in activism and has a dedicated activism team, focused on research and tactics, operating around the world. Long before activism was an industry buzzword, The Body Shop has pushed for change where other brands saw risks. It has mobilised its global collective and campaigned for over 20 years on issues such as the rights of indigenous peoples, animal rights, sex trafficking and the burning of the Amazon rainforest.
About the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth
In 2017, the UN Secretary-General appointed Jayathma Wickramanayake of Sri Lanka as his Special Envoy on Youth and as the youngest senior official in the history of the organization.
The Envoy on Youth’s mandate is to harmonize the UN system efforts on youth development, enhance the UN response to youth needs, advocate for the development needs and rights of young people, as well as to bring the work of the United Nations on youth closer to them.

Globe celebrates the women of Brgy. Barangka Ilaya, Mandaluyong
The pandemic posed many challenges to Filipino families – many survived through the guidance and leadership of the women in their communities.
For Kathleen Anne Quiambao, Mary Magaling, and Rebel Caadan, they did not let the hardships and unexpected situations get the better of them, as they stood strong and found ways to adapt to what life in the pandemic threw at them.
True to its commitment to creating a #GlobeOfGood, Globe became a bridge for these three women to become pillars of their homes during the health crisis. They were able to earn extra money through Globe’s products and services to keep their families afloat and ensure an uninterrupted learning environment for their kids.
Quiambao is the main contributor to their household income. She was previously employed but transitioned to online selling when she had to leave her job for health reasons. She now sells a variety of products in her online store, including frozen goods, apparel, and sanitation essentials. She has since gained a number of patrons who support her business and attributes the small successes of her online selling to Globe’s accessible internet connection in their area.
“Very convenient ‘yung may malapit na cell towers dito sa Mandaluyong para madali ma-access ang mga sites na gamit namin sa online selling,” she shared.
At the start of the pandemic, 60-year old Magaling found herself at the brink of bankruptcy and almost closed down her sari-sari store, which has been her primary source of livelihood for nearly two decades. Amid the lockdowns, she persevered to keep her store open to serve her customers within her neighborhood, especially those who became her suki and friends.
Magaling has been a mobile prepaid load retailer for years and intends to expand her reach and become a merchant of Electronic Commerce Payments Inc. (ECPay), another Globe affiliate that provides a wide array of services, ranging from bill payments, top-up load, electronic PINS, cash-ins, and money transfers.
“Hindi ko na masyadong alam ‘yung mga online o apps pero gusto ko subukan para dagdag kita. ‘Yan rin kasi ang hinahanap ng mga suki ko kaya gusto ko rin i-offer sa kanila.”
Meanwhile, Caadan, a mother of three children aged 7 to 14, uses Globe as her partner to prepare them for the future. They have challenges getting a broadband connection since they share a household with two other families, but are grateful that they are able to utilize mobile data for their online learning and communication with the teachers.
With her children experiencing difficulty keeping up with online classes, she makes sure that she is constantly available when they need help, closely coordinates with their teachers, and remains supportive to help them finish their studies.
The three women are part of the community where the Globe of Good and #BrigadangAyalaKaakay programs operate, which consists of a 12-week food distribution program that provides rice, fresh vegetables, canned goods, and bread to 10,000 families across Metro Manila.
At a food distribution event in Mandaluyong last month, Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu expressed his gratitude and excitement at seeing the beneficiaries of San Roque Parish, Barangay Barangka Ilaya, Mandaluyong City. He emphasized Globe’s commitment to driving digital adoption by catering to the community’s needs through their products and services.
“A very big focus of Globe is sustainability. Conducting these types of programs allows us to help address the needs of the community, and continue to drive adoption of products that really serve our customers,” he said.
Cu added that employees and executives’ on-ground experiences in these programs are very valuable to the culture that they foster at Globe.
On top of its community engagement efforts, Globe continues to expand its network services to provide connectivity to more Filipinos, Cu said. Being a digital solutions provider, the company intends to strengthen its GCash e-money services for broader financial inclusion.
Globe supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 8, which promotes inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all, and SDG No. 9 on fostering innovation. Globe is committed to upholding the UN Global Compact Principles and contributing to 10 UN SDGs.

Shoppers can drop off their donations or purchase new ones from The SM Store until February 15 in all branches in Metro Manila, and from February 1 to 28 in the rest of the stores nationwide.

Previous beneficiaries included communities in need such as in Marawi, Isabela, and many other communities across the country. As mentioned earlier, this year’s campaign will benefit families affected by Typhoon Odette, which has displaced thousands of families in Mimaropa, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Share Your Extras is one of the ways The SM Store reaches out to the communities. Other store based projects include Donate-A-Book, Share-A-Toy, Share Shoes, Share-A-Gift, and Gamot Para sa Kapwa.

SAYING IT SWEETLY 2.0 AT THE SM SNACK EXHANGE
It is said that the Cadbury group introduced a new Valentine’s Day tradition when candy maker Richard Cadbury was inspired to package chocolates in heart shaped boxes decorated with rosebuds and cupids, which were popular symbols of romance among the Victorians. These boxes had locks where one could later store mementos like love letters and small gifts.
The tradition lives on today at The SM Store Snack Exchange with sweet indulgences from some of the world’s well-loved chocolate brands. Cadbury’s “Say it From the Heart” gift boxes come with heart-full stickers of creative and personalized emojis and #kilig lines.
Swiss chocolatier Toblerone, on the other hand, says it sweetly 2.0 with a heart shaped gift box and its iconic triangle chocolates with personalized sleeves with sweet poetry. No wonder, it has retained its popularity for the past 100 years.
Together, these two well-loved chocolate brands bring the sweetest deals at The SM Store Snack Exchange. Every P1,000 single- receipt purchase of Toblerone and Cadbury items, entitles one to a free 100g Toblerone Chocolate until February 28.
