Ayushmann Khurrana is one such celebrity who is doing his part in making the society a better place to live in. In this effort, he has joined hands in the fight against child sexual abuse.

Ayushmann who is known for his effort in shedding light on topics that are less talked about has been roped in by UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) and the Ministry of Women and Child Development in order to raise voice against sexual abuse faced by children.

“बच्चों के प्रति यौन शोषण एक क्रूर हिंसा है, और यह बच्चों के हिंसा मुक्त जीवन के अधिकारों के खिलाफ है। बच्चों के प्रति यौन शोषण को रोकने, और खत्म करने में हम सभी की अहम भूमिका है। @UNICEF, महिला एवं बाल विकास मंत्रालय के नेतृत्व और @ayushmannk के इस विषय पर बात करने की पहल की सराहना करता है। आशा है कि उनके इस प्रयास से बच्चों की सुरक्षा के लिए लोगों में जागरूकता बढ़ेगी। मुझे उम्मीद है कि इस वीडियो संदेश से प्रेरित होकर लोग बच्चों के सुरक्षित और खुशहाल बचपन की दिशा में जरूरी कदम उठायेंगे।” #UNICEF India Rep.
