Hello everyone,
UNICEF has released this new film featuring Goodwill Ambassador David Beckam to illustrate that physical and psychological abuse can mark children forever.
Children should be safe everywhere: home, school, online and in their communities.



Beckham said: “When I launched my 7 Fund with UNICEF, I made a commitment to do everything I can to make the world a safer place for children and to speak out on issues that are having a devastating impact on children’s lives. One of those issues is violence. Every five minutes, somewhere in the world, a child dies from violence. Millions more are in danger of physical, emotional and sexual abuse that could destroy their childhoodsforever.
