Priyanka Chopra visited several places in South Africa and Zimbabwe as UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and addressed the issue of crimes against children. She especially focussed on the the problem of sexual violence against children.
We came across this video that captures the highlights of PC's visit. In the video, Priyanka can be seen introducing herself everywhere she goes. She visited small families in the rural areas, interacted with children. She even visited some non profit organisations to understand how they help children who are victims of sexual abuse.
"I went to Zimbabwe as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, and one out of three children under the age of 18 have been sexually abused. In South Africa it is one in every 5," Chopra said during a press conference.
Priyanka even took packs of 'Bindi' and gave it to them, saying "These are called Bindis, So women in my country, in India wear it, when they get dressed." She stuck those Bindis on the foreheads of the children and the teens, interacted with them and heard their problems, the hardships that they had to go through and their personal experience of abuse along with the stigma attached to it.
Apart from that, she was also seen dancing and cheering them all. She stressed on how it is important to change the mind sets of people, towards women and children.
