Cape Town - In February 2015, after 10 years as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, David Beckham launched 7: The David Beckham Unicef Fund, where he made a commitment to help the world’s most vulnerable children.
Today, this video of David Beckham’s tattoos coming to life, highlights the need to end violence against children and that violence marks children forever.
“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,” said Beckham.
“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 childhoods forever.”
“Last year I visited Cambodia with Unicef where I met and listened to children tell me about terrible violence they have experienced. I was shocked by what I heard and I saw how violence can leave deep and lasting scars. No child should have to endure this. Yet in all corners of the world, in their homes, schools and on their streets, children are suffering similar violence. I hope this new project will draw attention to this urgent issue and inspire action. Violence against children is wrong and together we need to end it.”
