Mallika
Sherawat
is
on
a
mission.
And
this
time
she
is
taking
her
mission
all
the
way
to
Cannes.
Her
mission
is
to
help
eradicate
child
prostitution
and
trafficking.
The
actor
has
been
working
tirelessly
with
her
international
NGO
Free-A-Girl
to
not
just
end
this
heinous
form
of
violence
against
women
and
girls
but
also
rehabilitate
the
victims
of
such
abuse.
Such
is
Mallika's
dedication
to
the
cause
that
she
wants
to
highlight
the
issue
at
an
international
level.
The
actor
&
activist
is
looking
to
raise
awareness
about
the
issue
at
Cannes.
In
the
past,
many
like
Julia
Roberts
and
Salma
Hayek
have
used
the
influential
forum
to
make
a
strong
point.
She
said,
"This
is
my
9th
year
at
Cannes.
It
is
so
important
in
today's
world
to
raise
awareness
about
this
issue.
It
is
2018
and
we
are
still
grappling
with
child
prostitution
all
around
the
world.
There
are
so
many
children
trapped
in
this
racket.
It
is
necessary
to
create
awareness
about
what
is
happening
with
women
all
over
the
world.
I
believe
Cannes
is
a
significant
platform
to
raise
this
issue."
Her
work
with
the
Free-A-
Girl
NGO
has
been
making
headlines,
especially
when
she
reached
out
to
External
Affairs
Minister
Sushma
Swaraj
asking
for
help
to
get
the
Indian
visa
of
Free-A-
Child
founder
Evelien
Holsken
approved.
Mallika
who
will
walk
the
red
carpet
on
May
9
and
May
10,
has
been
a
regular
at
Cannes
and
her
fashion
choices
at
the
festival
have
always
caught
the
attention
of
media
and
fans
alike.
Mallika's
constantly
evolving
and
classy
fashion
tastes
and
choices
have
drawn
much
appreciation
from
fans
over
the
world.
When
asked
about
her
designer
this
time
around,
she
said,
"This
time
I
am
more
excited
for
Cannes
as
my
attire
and
look
will
be
more
attractive
than
the
past
years.
I
have
two
attire
options
from
India
and
two
from
the
US
which
I
have
shortlisted.
The
one
will
be
finalized
in
the
next
week.
As
far
as
jewellery
is
concerned,
I'm
accessorizing
Boucheron
this
year."
Mallika
knows
she
enjoys
the
attention
of
the
media.
But,
here's
one
passionate
activist
who
wants
the
media
to
go
beyond
the
clothes
she
wears.
Now
that's
called
making
a
difference.
