Trisha Krishnan has been chosen to be the Celebrity Advocate by UNICEF. She will raise awareness against evils that blight the lives of children in a developing country like India.
"Trisha is an icon for the adolescents and the young people. She has the power to amplify the children's issues and address the violation of child rights in the family, community and public spaces," a UNICEF official has said.
The actress says, "I feel honoured with this recognition. I commit myself to create more awareness on health, education, nutrition and protection of children, especially the adolescents and young people in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. I would support the efforts of the government to make Tamil Nadu malnutrition-free and open defecation free."
