11 September 2007The singer and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador Angélique Kidjo is touring her home country of Benin this week to raise awareness about the rights of children, spotlighting the importance of education and protection from exploitation and trafficking.
During her four-day trip, which began yesterday, Ms. Kidjo will take part in the launch of Benin's girls' education campaign, visit schools and meet with both women's groups and child victims of human trafficking.
UNICEF said Ms. Kidjo's trip is designed to help raise the awareness of decision-makers in Benin about the rights of children, particularly that girls need to attend school and complete their primary education.>> more
