Although the campaign had as main target audience legislators and policy makers, I am not sure this audience group can be best reached online. However, mothers, LGBT individuals and women with disabilities (being subgroups within the larger group of women that the campaign aim to ultimately benefit) might be diverse groups to engage online to promote the message of the campaign further through their networks and communities. ]]> 2022-05-09 15:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2175901392 Pearl Karungi, UN Women Rwanda https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2175944489 My campaign was about gender based violences.

One major objective of the campaign was to provide mothers with the medical evidence and data they needed to feel better about the lower risks of serious illness facing children compared to adults who contracted Covid-19 and the low level of hospitalization among children. Convincing mothers was a key part of securing widespread agreement to re-open schools and actually send children back to class, since the constant fear messaging driven home throughout the pandemic had made many mothers state publicly online that they would not allow their children to re-enter classrooms even if schools re-opened.]]> 2022-05-09 16:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2176040892 Fethi Debbabi UNIC RABAT https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2176564109 I selected   the Mothers group.
Why ? Well My campaign is focusing on empowering girls an women and investing especially on young girls to help them assert themselves as equal partners to men. I find that UN gender advocacy doesn't focus enough on mothers though they are the first channel for young girls to receive education, beliefs and thinking.

I consider that mothers are really my first line partners or allies  in spreading the message and educating young girls to fight for their rights and place in the public as well well as the socioeconomic dynamics. Their understanding and mobilization is key for the UN efforts to achieve the50/50 planet.
The content of my social media campaign will be tailored with a focus on women to bring them onboard while at the same moment targeting fathers as well as the young girls.

Because the campaign is about “raising the awareness of the private sector’s role in disaster risk reduction” on the International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction. To achieve the campaign objective and influence the local policies on this topic, the local governments as the key decision makers are the main target audience. ]]> 2022-05-10 05:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2177013700 Ratha, UNFPA Cambodia https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2177253013 I would like to select government officials because:
- government officials are the ones who initiate/prepare laws, legal frameworks, programmes addressing the issue [of GBV],
- government officials they bear a duty to reinforce the implementation,
- government has resources and structure in place for the implementation,
- government has financial resource required for the programming. ]]> 2022-05-10 08:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2177253013 Berny Figuereo - UNFPA DR- https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2177637460 We would choose government officials because their participation is necessary to ensure the availability of contraceptives in primary care settings; Approval from school authorities is also required for workshops with adolescents in schools. We would also choose mothers because they play a critical role in our efforts to help teens receive sex education and informed decision-making tools through girls' clubs and other initiatives.]]> 2022-05-10 13:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2177637460 Agnes Kante, UNAIDS Liaison Office, Addis Ababa https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2178020357 We would choose young people from the LGBTQI community to be more visibly part and engaged in our joint digital campaign with our partner (African Union) on the #ProtectedAndInformed campaign (which already involve decision-makers, mothers and young people), because they are one of the most affected group by HIV/AIDS on the continent, face stigma and discrimination hindering their right to health. They could shed more light on the challenges they are going through, and how policy change could make major positive impacts on their lives. They should be both actors and beneficiaries of the campaign despite the reluctance of some Member States on upholding and recognizing their rights.

We wanted to generated discourse through powerful visuals to not only guage the sentiments about child marriage but also gain earned media coverage to attract attention of government officials and legislators.
The campaign allowed us to do both and made strong point towards perception of child marriage and stigmas that exist in our society.]]> 2022-05-11 08:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2179072976 Kanat Kubatbekov, UNFPA, Kyrgyzstan https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2179170252 Our campaign aimed to raise awareness and inform the mothers on family planning and contraception use.  UNFPA advocacy is focused on mothers as they can be first line channels for young girls to be empowered and educated.

I selected this audience because my campaign is about racism and this group is more keen to the topic then the other ones. The campaign asked testimonies of people who suffered racism. In this case, I would change it a little bit and ask mothers to participate with lessons they would give to their children on how to fight racism. I guess this could be very impacftul to the campaign, with lots of sharing and good ideas that could generate another campaign for kids, with tailored content for TikTok, for instance.]]> 2022-05-11 15:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2179610024 Alba López - UNWTO, Spain https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2179649519 I selected the disabled individuals group.

One of the goals of the initiative is to rebuild a more inclusive tourism for fairer growth.

This group is usually left behind in tourism policy planning, so highlighting their take on rebuilding the sector could underscore the initiative's work towards equality.

Segmented groups could include disabled people working in tourism, disabled travelers and other specific partners advocating for more inclusive policies.]]> 2022-05-11 15:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2179649519 Alzbeta Hamrova, UNICEF, Czech Republic https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2179664441 Government officials.

Government officials are a key target audience for the work we do, identified in our annual comms strategy. They are selected here because they're a key driver of the work we do. Much of the sector innovations we drive will eventually seek policymakers approval. If the policymakers are aware of the campaign objectives and the key messages they are more likely to engage better with the content and to move along with us to move the implementation forward. While they may not be very active on social media, they will still be able to influence the discussion and interact with those who are active on social and thus be able to share our content and activities. ]]> 2022-05-11 19:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2180000635 Jose Rios, UNIC Bogotá, Colombia. https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2180374753 I would choose Government becasue our mandate fits good with the government functions and actions.

Since my campaign was meant for internal awareness as well as mobilize attention and funds, donors were all the time put in the spot with all activities we carried out, especially on social media. Our existing donors felt honored and amplified on our message to prove to the world and their tax payers how important this support is and how it save lives in a country known as the world worst crisis.

Somalia is a country emerging from a long decade of civil war, and foreign entities are seen as an invading forces rather than peace building, so working with the Somali diaspora (a group which has families in the country and has the trust of the public) can contribute to the re-building of trust, and confidence with the public. ]]> 2022-05-13 16:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2183156447 Aitana CONSTANS, RCO Mali https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/4rp1zk44gavknwlt/wish/2183967215 Since the goal of my campaign was “Strengthening the individual and collective commitment of decision-makers and leaders in the prevention, response and fight against violence based on gender (GBV)”, I selected Government officials. 

They need to be aware of the issue, see and understand the real problem that gender-based violence represents, and develop policies and measures to address it and stop it.

Also women, so in that case, mothers as family education and sensibilization on this issue is also key to avoid violence against men-women.

From the list, I would select "People aged 60 years and up" for the following reasons:

  • They are one of the risk-groups if contracting COVID-19
  • Per the explanators shared in the learning module, this is an audience that in Argentina doesn´t use some of the social media apps where people follows institutions, celebrities, authorities or influencers (i.e. Instagram, TikTok or YouTube), but prefer some of the oldest ones (as Facebook or Whatsapp), and typically limit their interaction to people who they know offline. This is why they are more exposed to misinformation, as the sources from where they are receiving this erroneous data is someone they already know and perhaps trusts.
  • Certain studies show that older users in social media tend to don't check information before re-posting or sharing it, or ignore some of the most common signs that an account is fake.
