UNICEF has just announced that actress Angie Harmon will now be their official face, and the new UNICEF Ambassador. Her first role as the new ambassador will be in a Public Service Announcement that she’s making to raise awareness about child trafficking and urge Americans to be part of the solution.
These 15, 30 and 60 second PSAs will air this month, which is Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
As Harmon said, “After learning about the horrifying practice of child trafficking both in the United States and abroad, I knew I had to do something about it. That’s what drew me to UNICEF. I believe that ZERO children should be forced into prostitution or made to work, especially at dangerous jobs. I look forward to working with UNICEF to help reach a day when every child has a safe and healthy childhood.”
As Caryl Stern, President and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, recently said, “We’re thrilled to have Angie Harmon join our efforts to help ensure the health, education, equality and protection of every child.”
Angie Harmon will be in very good company as the new Ambassador. Past Ambassadors have included: Audrey Hepburn, Laurence Fishburne, Selena Gomez, Alyssa Milano and Sarah Jessica Parker.
