And you know Naomi was front and center for the cause.
Sitting alongside actress Kelly Rutherford, Naomi received praise from the Daily Mail for the words of encouragement she offered the audience.
The UN event was one of many projects on Naomi's calendar this week. She also been promoting season 2 of "The Face" (which airs Wednesdays at 10pm on OXYGEN).
Cindy McCain, Trudy Styler, Ban Soon-Taek, Kim Cattrall, Muna Rihani Al Nasser and Nassir Al-Nasser were among the powerful women who joined forces with Naomi as they marched though Manhattan, calling attention to the crusade for global rights and equality for women.
After the event, Naomi tweeted, ‘thank you was an honor to be #unwomenforpeace)’.
Love when celebs take a genuine stand for something bigger themselves.
Happy International Woman's Day!
