As part of its Equity Campaign for 2017, UNICEF has again brought together influential goodwill partners to join them to advocate for children. And I am happy to return for a second year! Also joining for the first time this year are M.anifest and MzVee.
Last year, UNICEF partnered personalities such as myself, Noella Wiyaala, Rebecca Acheampong (Becca), Francisca Forson and Gary Al-Smith, most of whom are also back this year. These personalities will use the influence in social media to advocate for Ghana’s most vulnerable, to help spark conversation and drive change through their various platforms.
This year, the theme for campaign is ‘Lets Be Fair’, and for UNICEF, equity means we give some children more help to have a fair and equal start. The campaign will throw more light on key areas where Ghanaian children need such equity, including eduction, healthcare, and more.
At a recent breakfast meeting with UNICEF, the partners shared their commitment to helping spread awareness and drive change. The meeting was also aimed at sharing ideas on future collaboration to continue to raise awareness and advocate for the protection of children’s rights to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.
