Mallika Sherawat who is the ambassador
for international NGO Free A Girl India', that
is fighting human trafficking and
commercial sexual exploitation of children
took it upon herself to raise awareness on
the horrifying crime of forced child
prostitution at the on-going 71st Cannes
Film Festival 2018. As part of Free a Girl's
Lock-Me-Up Campaign, the actor locked
herself in a 128 feet small cage at Cannes
to bring global attention on the issue.
Mallika who has been known for her strong
association with Free A Girl' NGO had
represented them last year too at Cannes.
The actor has been known for her active
involvement in philanthropic activities over
the years and this time around she has
pledged to make efforts to end this evil
practice.
Says Mallika, "It is my ninth year at Cannes
and the festival is one of the most cogent
platforms to raise the issue of child
prostitution not just in India but across the
world. Being locked in a cage, I wanted to
drive home the imagery of how young girls
who are being trafficked are trapped in a
small 128 foot room. These innocent
victims have to live and survive without any
aid. There is a woman suffering abuse
every minute with no hope of any change.
So I thought of doing my bit and raising
awareness about an issue which needs to
become extinct at the earliest.
The actress is also the brand ambassador of
the School for Justice' and shares a firm
viewpoint on women's rights. Having been
involved with the UN and an NGO Urja',
Mallika had addressed the problems faced
by women in India at the 65th United
Nations DPI/NGO Conference in 2014.
With this campaign, Mallika intends to
support the School for Justice in India and
initiate a change to bring about the
extermination of the problem of forced
child prostitution in India and
internationally.
