Mariella Frostrup just been made Save the Children Ambassador

Maybe I'm blond but in order to read the article I need to sign in  

No, Nicki,not a blonde moment! You're right, but other than Mariella's Twitter page, I couldn't find it anywhere else. Hot off the presses!

Fund the people and then you WILL end poverty ! Not all those charities and good will ambassadors ! It's sickening.

This is not about good will or money This is about gender equality where they don't have it, and is connected to the campaign and three day conference that will highlight FGM and the campaign to try to end it

And how will you try to establish genderequality ?

Be hopeful Atalante, that they can make it better even if a little at a time.

I suspect Mariella will be speaking at the FGM conference in London in June, and many human rights lawyers are attending too. Amal has taken the lead in the petition.......and Angelina Jolie is known to be speaking alongside William Hague.

Hope to attend on the public days.............

Sounds interesting PAN keep us posted.

I will.

Expecting to be horrified by some of more graphic films and details - but very fortunate not to be one of the poor women around the world this has happened to, and just trying to help raise awareness...........

The wealthy on this planet need to pay up to change things. And our celebrities are a part of the problem.

Yes but there are a lot like George who mind you might be rich, but not so much as most think. He has more ways of trying to give back to not just his birth country; but the world. He trys to help the oppressed people all over the world. As does many of his friends. So I think it is wrong to put him in the same category as some celebrity. The ones that need to help more are what we call the 1%, The Koch brothers, Steve Wynn and the selfish billionaires that take and take and give nothing back.

Not George, that is why I started following so closely. I don't follow movie celebrities, I follow him because of the kind of person he is. If we were here in fifty years from now we would see his name in history books for many of the great things that he does.
