When Academy Award-winning actress and humanitarian Nicole
Kidman visited Hong Kong in May, she took part in some high-profile
activities in support of the United Nations Fund for Women (UNIFEM), arranged in
cooperation with Omega.
It wasn't the first time Omega and Nicole Kidman had worked together on
behalf of UNIFEM, an organization for which she is goodwill ambassador. In
October of 2009, she appeared at the opening of the Omega Boutique on Fifth
Avenue in New York City where she autographed boxes containing Constellation
watches. Omega had decided to donate some of the proceeds from the sale of the
popular watches to UNIFEM.
At a special event in Hong Kong on May 20th, UNIFEM's Public Affairs Chief
Joan Libby-Hawk announced that the money raised in New York City – US$ 50,000 –
would be going to women's shelter and recovery programmes in Haiti, which was
devastated by an earthquake in January. Information about how the funds
will be used can be found at UNIFEM's website.
