Recently,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
was
appointed
as
UNICEF's
Celebrity
Advocate
for
their
global
campaign
EVAC
(Ending
Violence
Against
Children),
and
the
actor
is
keen
to
spread
awareness
about
this
concerning
issue.
While
speaking
to
an
entertainment
portal,
the
Vicky
Donor
actor
spoke
about
ending
violence
against
children
and
said,
"As
a
UNICEF
celebrity
advocate,
my
role
is
to
further
children's
rights,
to
support
UNICEF
in
advocating
for
these
rights
using
my
voice
and
my
influence.
One
of
the
major
issues
I
am
supporting
is
ending
violence
against
children,
to
advocate
that
violence
against
children
is
unacceptable,
and
it
is
preventable."
He
further
said
that
violence
against
children
is
pervasive
and
asked,
"But
how
often
do
we
hear
about
it
being
reported
or
discussed?"
Khurrana
further
assured
that
he
will
be
drawing
attention
to
this
issue
while
making
violence
against
children
visible.
He
also
said
that
if
anyone
witnesses
violence
against
children,
they
should
report
it,
so
that
the
required
steps
could
be
taken
to
stop
it.
In
the
same
interview,
the
Article
15
actor
also
reacted
to
Hathras
and
Balrampur
case
and
said
one
needs
to
raise
better
sons
rather
than
just
protecting
women.
"Shocked,
shattered
and
devastated.
After
Hathras,
now
another
gangrape
and
murder
at
Balrampur!
It's
barbaric,
inhuman
and
calls
for
the
most
severe
punishment
to
the
guilty.
When
will
this
stop?
We
are
failing
every
single
day
to
protect
the
women
of
our
country.
We
have
to
do
more
than
just
protecting
women.
We
have
to
raise
better
sons," said
Ayushmann.
