Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Tuesday, June 5, 2012 WOMEN organizations. Jessop said meeting the other delegates was a rich and motivating opportunity. "I met girls from all over the world, [and] they have become some of my best friends," she said. Delegates at the conference come from the G2o countries, which include the U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, France and the African and European Unions. G2o refers to the Group of 20, an economic forum staffed by finance ministers and central bank governors of the world's 20 largest economies. The conference concluded with the girls writing a set of recommendations to be presented to G2o representatives when they meet later this month, a process Jessop said was intense. Recommendations included passing an international treaty allowing women to own land titles continued from Page 1 spent a week discussing how to lessen poverty by investing in women such as the female farmers of Huichapan. The delegates participated in workshops on topics such as public relations and leadership. They learned how to maximize their personal stories so they can influence the lives of other women, Jessop said. Held May 24 through May 31 and modeled after the G2o economic summit, the conference included two formal days with the first focused on women and agriculture and the second on opportunities lost through violence against women. Panelists included key players from the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the Girl Effect and other FILM FEST continued from Page 1 Audience members experienced a range of films in different genres, beginning with family-friendly movies and ending with R-rated films after intermission. "We try to keep the event as family friendly as possible while also not limiting the art," Weston said. This year the festival also introduced international films into the mix. "With the addition of international submissions, we have seen a great improvement in the quality of films we and implementing public policy to encourage mass media promotion of anti-violence campaigns, according to the summit's website. Courtney McBeth, assistant director for the Hinckley Institute of Politics and Jessop's summit recommender, said Jessop embodies U President David Pershing's vision of undergraduate success and community impact. "[Liz] is an exceptional example of the opportunities available at the U, and the [summit] recognized this unique background and her potential for [future] leadership," she said. "She is globally aware and culturally competent ... a shining example of what the Hinckley and the U hope to instill and provide." Jessop heard about the summit through personal research and followed it online last year. Other opportunities added to her preparation, get. In a way, it's inspired the local filmmaking community to step their game up," Scharine said. "We have an anonymous judging panel who are professionals in the local film industry, and they more or less rate the films to determine which we will actually screen." Film submissions are free of charge so the money is largely made through ticket sales. There are many local sponsors and a large number of donations. However, additional costs force the producers and others to provide approximately $5,000 for each film festival in out-of-pocket expenses. Sponsors are largely in charge of providing prizes to audience members and film winners. 3 such as a U service-learning course on international development and advocating with the anti-sex-trafficking Red Thread Movement. "The reason I am so involved in supporting [women's empowerment] isn't because I'm against men or boys," she said. "[There are simply] lots of lost social and human capital by oppressing women." To demonstrate women's economic impact, Jessop cited a statistic from a study by Nike's campaign The Girl Effect, which shows if a woman has extra money, she invests 90 percent of it back into her family as opposed to a man who typically reinvests only 3o percent. Delegates are encouraged to take action after the summit, and many have by creating youth-empowerment foundations or health-focused nonprofits. Jessop said one initiative she hopes to pursue is to create a formal nonprofit dedicated to educating women by helping fund secondary education. "Women don't really have opportunities for education ... that's one of the biggest lacks in our development," she said. In addition to befriending the delegates and acquiring new skills, Jessop said the summit taught her that she can make a difference. "I came out feeling empowered," she said. "I came out with 20 other women who are going to stand by me and fight violence against women ... so we can really reduce poverty and improve life for the 6 billion that live in poverty," she said."We really are the change, and one person can make that difference." The summit is funded by privatesector companies and the Canadianbased Belinda Stronach Foundation. m.gessel@chronicle.utah.edu "We award prizes using a judging panel, and we do actually have one audience choice award," Scharine said.
