    LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2017  — Fishermen Labs, a leading product development agency with a heavy focus on mobile app and dynamic web projects, today announced the completion of the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) website design project.  The project follows CEO Eden Chen’s commitment to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which world leaders signed up to in order to end poverty and inequality for good. The project provided an updated design language, solutions to the navigational system and templates for UNDP’s global website and network of nearly 170 associated country sites.

    Visit the new UNDP.ORG website.

    Eden Chen, co-founder of Fishermen Labs, said: “The United Nations Development Programme has been an inspiration to me for many years. The opportunity to work on a site with massive global impact and that spans hundreds of countries was both complex and fulfilling. We believe in the power of storytelling and we strive to use the digital space to solve global challenges, and the new UNDP design achieves both these goals.”

    Mila Rosenthal, UNDP Director of Communications, said: “Fishermen Labs was a great collaborator for us to help modernize our digital footprint.  Their talented team worked with us to create a fresh and engaging new look for our website. We’re excited to be rolling it out this year.”

The 17 Goals are a plan to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that no one is left behind. They include things like making sure people have access to clean water, energy, education, health care and good jobs; achieving gender equality; reducing vulnerability to climate-change and disasters; reducing inequality; protecting our oceans and forests; preventing conflict and promoting peace and justice around the world.

John was also instrumental in facilitating the strategic and tactical go-to-market plans to support the development and market launch of the industry’s first nationwide prepaid Monthly Unlimited program, generating prepaid category-leading results with over 5M subscribers and annual revenues in excess of $3B.

    “I am honored to be taking the lead and working alongside the best mobile team in the business here at ROK Mobile.  I believe that ROK’s #1 priority is to provide maximum value to our customers.  With our social-impact offers that include life, legal, automotive and communication services bundles we are able to deliver on that commitment in underserved markets in the U.S. and around the world,” commented Janes.

    Dynamic discussion between entrepreneurial female leaders making an impact in the lives of many women globally

    NEW YORK, NY–(Oct 19, 2016) –  Angelica Fuentes Foundation (FAF), a private institution committed to the overall empowerment of women of all ages through the strengthening and financing of organizations that support women’s advancement, today announced its Founder Angelica Fuentes led a social impact panel discussion at the Equities Women’s Council Roundtable on Tuesday, October 18. At the event women discussed issues ranging from gendered equality initiatives to women empowerment ideas.

    The Equities Women’s Council is a community for entrepreneurial women in the emerging growth, start up, venture capital and corporate professional roles across industry sectors. The goal of the Council is to celebrate women and exchange ideas with other successful female leaders focused on innovation and disruption.

    The main topics addressed included the progress of women participation and inclusion in the labor force around the globe, salary inequality based on gender and also the benefits for the economy and society in general of an equal participation of men and women in the private and public sector, as measured by a resulting total increase in global GDP of up to 18% according to a McKenzie research on the opportunities of worldwide gender equality.

    Angelica Fuentes, Founder of the Angelica Fuentes Foundation commented, “It was an honor to attend the event and I hope my contribution was helpful and insightful to the Equities Women’s Council, and their gender equality agendas. Spaces where we can put the spotlight on both the aspects in which there has been little progress in advancing a gender equality agenda, such as the poor results over the last decade in closing the salary gap or increasing women’s participation in politics, along with detailing and explaining the benefits for society in general of a more even world for all, are fundamental in setting an agenda for achieving higher process and benchmarking that which has been made. I look forward to participating in future events to increase our common efforts and contribute to further this fundamental agenda.”

    About Angelica Fuentes Foundation
    Angelica Fuentes Foundation believes that women empowerment and gender equality are some of the most efficient tools for social, economic and environmental development. They envision a world in which women and men cooperate and work together in a context of equanimity and equality of opportunities, where women are able to fully participate in all the areas of human endeavor, for their personal wellbeing as well as that of the communities they live in.

    Angelica Fuentes Foundation’s goal is to promote and encourage gender equality and women empowerment in Latin America as one of the most efficient tools for economic, social and environmental development in the region. To achieve this goal, they work with a model that seeks to accurately measure the impact they can have in communities and countries where they have a direct or indirect presence, through their programs, their network of organizations or those for which they provide financial support and consulting.

    The measurement carried out by the Foundation seeks to define comparative criteria to evaluate the economic participation of men and women, access to education and professional development, as well as pay equity by gender. Likewise, these measurements also allow monitoring the direct impact these rights have on other externalities such as teenage pregnancy, gender violence and access to justice, as well as the well-being and progress of the community in general.

    Angelica Fuentes Foundation Partners with Georgetown University to produce First Economic Violence Against Women Study

    NEW YORK, NY–(Oct 18, 2016) – Angélica Fuentes Foundation (FAF), a private institution committed to the overall empowerment of women of all ages through the strengthening and financing of organizations that support women’s advancement, announced today their partnership and collaboration Georgetown University and the Institute for Women, Peace and Security has successfully produced the first study on Integrating Violence Prevention and Women Economics Participation – centered gender equality condition in Mexico.

    The unveiling of the study took place in Washington DC where the Director of the Georgetown’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security, Ambassador Melanne Verveer, and Angelica Fuentes, participated in a round table event to present the paper along with its results, conclusions and suggestions for the Mexico case. Primarily, the study highlights economic violence against women as the second most common type of gender based violence in the country, second to psychological abuse of women.

    Angelica Fuentes, Founder of the Angelica Fuentes Foundation commented, “The study marks a huge milestone in understanding this baseline, and it’s the first of its kind to directly address the link between women economic empowerment and violence against women. Although there is much research yet to be done, this initial study already accomplishes a set of specific recommendations for organizations and individuals working on promoting gender equality, particularly in the joining of efforts at an institutional level to bring together women economic empowerment programs and those directly addressing violence against women and girls. I’m confident that this newly proposed approach, and all future research we conduct in this area, will help us improve the results and practices around an issue that affects in various cases more than half of the women in the hemisphere.”
