UNICEF Ambassador Mia Farrow arrived in the Central African Republic this weekend to begin her field visit.
"We all bear a responsibility to try and shed light on this immense human suffering," UNICEF Ambassador Mia Farrow told the AP on Saturday, the start of her week-long tour of Central African Republic.
The U.N. reports that violence has affected 1 million people in Central African Republic, nearly one-quarter of the population, and says tens of thousands of women have been raped by different factions.
Though this trip, Ms. Farrow is bringing attention to this forgotten crisis. Here's links to learn more: UNICEF: Humanitarian Action Report on Central African Republic AP: U.S. actress Mia Farrow tours Central African Republic to highlight 'forgotten' crisis
