Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn was a tireless advocate for children¡¯s rights.
Soon after becoming a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1988, she went on a mission to Ethiopia, where years of drought and civil strife had caused terrible famine. After visiting Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF emergency operations, Audrey talked about the projects to media in the United States, Canada and Europe over several weeks, giving as many as 15 interviews a day.
In 1989, Audrey Hepburn gave this passionate speech as world leaders adopted the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Convention on the Rights of the Child.
