 The most famous Netflix series "Stranger Things"
Born on February 19, 2004, Millie Bobby Brown is a Spanish-born British actress. Her family relocated to Los Angeles, where she began earning parts on shows
like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and NCIS. Her big break
came with the 2016 debut of the Netflix sleeper hit Stranger
Things, on which she stars as the gifted Eleven.
Millie Bobby Brown Named UNICEF's Youngest-Ever Goodwill Ambassador
The appointment – marked on World Children’s Day at United Nations Headquarters and the Empire State Building in New York – makes the 14-year-old UNICEF’s
youngest-ever Goodwill Ambassador.
“It’s a dream come true to become a UNICEF
Goodwill Ambassador,” said Brown. “It’s a huge honor to join such an impressive list of people who have supported
UNICEF over the years. I am looking forward to meeting as many children
and young people as I can, hearing their stories, and speaking out on their
behalf.”
In her role as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, the British star of Stranger
Things will use her global platform to help raise awareness of children’s
rights and issues affecting youth, such as lack of education, safe places to
play and learn, and the impact of violence, bullying and poverty. She
joins a list of UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors including: Muzoon
Almellehan, David Beckham, Orlando Bloom, Jackie Chan, Priyanka Chopra, Danny Glover, Ricky Martin, Leo Messi, Liam Neeson, Shakira and Lilly Singh.
“I’m delighted to welcome Millie to the UNICEF family, particularly on World Children’s Day – a day that is all about giving children and young people a voice,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. “Children are their own best advocates. I know that Millie will use her passion and dedication to defend the rights of vulnerable children and young people everywhere.”
World Children’s Day – celebrated on 20th November – is a global day of action ‘for children, by children’ to raise awareness and funds for the millions of children that are unschooled, unprotected and uprooted. UNICEF is inviting the public to go online and sign a global petition asking leaders to commit to fulfilling the rights of every child now and for future generations, so that every child is in school, safe from harm and can fulfil their potential.
