Iowa UNA College Ambassadors: Human Rights Day 2022
The Iowa United Nations Association at a Glance
The Iowa United Nations Association is committed to doing our part to make the world a better place for all. We educate Iowans about global issues. We meet with members of Iowa's congressional delegation to advocate for support for the UN and for constructive U.S. global engagement. We advocate in support of United Nations priorities on human rights, refugee issues, sustainable development, climate action, and gender equity. We raise money to support UN initiatives and humanitarian work. We work together with Iowans to advance the United Nations and its core values in our local communities, nationally, and globally.
