It's been 20 years since Spice Girls hit song "Wannabe" was released. But charity Project Everyone has taken a remake of the video of the song to a whole new level in girls' rights advocacy.

Remember the famous Spice Girls Wannabe song?

“Yo I’ll tell you what I want , what I really really want,

So tell me what you want. What you really really want

I wanna , I wanna I wanna Iwanna I wanna really really really wanna zigazig aaaaa!”

It was a good one then and it still is. This song was first released in 1996 and it was a major hit.

Well talks of the Spice Girls reuniting this year does not look like it will happen but 20 years after this hit song the girls’ band song has been redone by Project Everyone.

Founded by Richard Curtis a film maker, Project Everyone seeks to let the world know about all the Global Goals for Sustainable development.

This new video which talks about women and girls empowerment features artistes from South Africa, UK ,US, India , Canada and Nigeria.

The women and girls sing and dance as inscription such as “End Child Marriage” , “End Violence against Girl” among others are displayed.

The goal is to get girls and women around the world to tweet a picture demanding what improvement they want to in their lives using the hash tag #WhatIReallyReallyWant to be presented at the UN General Assembly in September 2016.

Trust me the video does not disappoint. It's a good one!
