GOAL#3 Good Health and Well-Being, The physical, emotional and mental benefits of exercise; . GOAL#5 Gender Equality, Equitable opportunities for women and girls worldwide; . GOAL#10 Reduced Inequalities, Discrimination based on age, gender and sexual orientation. A passionate soccer player and founder of San Diego Soccer Women, Brandi Mitchell is leading the ambassadorial team representing San Diego community in support of the Global Goals World Cup and Impact Games. A strong believer in the SDGs, Brandi feels that “by doing my part in bringing visibility to women actively engaged in sport, be it recreationally or professionally, I may silence people who discriminate against age, gender and sexual identities while also modeling inclusiveness and activism for my two children.” Mitchell found an enthusiastic partner in the United Nations Association San Diego. “We have been promoting the SDGs/Global Goals locally since their world-wide implementation in 2015,” offered Bettina Hausmann, Executive Director of UNA USA San Diego. Hausmann stresses, “we witnessed that from gender inequalities to sustainable cities, when people are given the space, encouragement and connections to engage with the Global Goals, we stand a chance to realize them together within our lifetime.” San Diego Soccer Women is scheduled to meet with Norwegian Government Officials and Representatives of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) during their ambassadorial trip.
