Spice Girls "Wannabe" Video Gets Girl Power Makeover 20 Years Later

By Wendy Widom

CHICAGO (CBS) — The 90s are back in a brand new way. The Global Goals' Project Everyone has remade the Spice Girls 1996 "Wannabe" video for its new initiative, #WhatIReallyReallyWant.

Earlier today, the campaign got a major boost on social media when former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham shared the video on her Facebook page, stating "20 years on - Girl Power being used to empower a new generation. I'm so proud of The Global Goals ‪#‎WhatIReallyReallyWant‬."

The video on Beckham's page has been viewed more than nine million times in seven hours.

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the United Nations' sustainable development goals related to ending poverty, fixing climate change and tackling inequalities.

According to the Global Goals website, "2016 is our chance to use our collective power and tell world leaders what we really really want for girls and women. If you make the noise, we'll get your message to world leaders at the UN in September."
