Actress, activist and ambassador, Lisa Surihani shares why she fights for children’s rights.
Lisa Surihani was named UNICEF Malaysia’s National Ambassador in 2017, and has recently renewed her ambassadorship for another two years with the organisation. In April, she went on her first on ground mission with UNICEF to a Rohingya Refugee Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
When asked how she came to work with the organisation, she shared that working with UNICEF had been a dream since she was a child herself, in high school. She came to join forces with UNICEF once she had more to offer as an adult. Lisa is now committed to the fight for children’s rights. “I ’m here to say that we need to listen to children. It is my honour to be able to amplify their voice ... to demand attention to what they have to say.”
