Even today, many youths must have faced violence in their childhood.

At the same time, we must also ensure that our homes, schools and social networks are safe places for children. As a UNICEF celebrity advocate advocating for an end to violence against children, I hope that together, we can make a difference.”

Given COVID-19, this is even more important as the impact of the pandemic has made children more vulnerable to online violence and exploitation.”
