Football Star David Beckham Watches IND Vs NZ Semi-Final, Promotes Equality & Empowerment For Girls At Wankhede

Football star David Beckham, who is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, travelled to India to meet changemaker kids in Gujarat. He was seen enjoying the semi-final between India and New Zealand today. Before coming to the stadium, he met children and adolescent boys and girls in Gujarat who are bringing about change and innovation in their communities and young women like Rinku Pravibhai who overcame barriers to pursue their dreams. Rinku Pravibhai, aged 21, called off her marriage six years ago. She was pressured to drop out of school and get married by her family. After learning about the harmful consequences of child marriage at a UNICEF-supported ‘young girls’ group, she confided her plight to a social worker and stopped her marriage. Today, Rinku is training as a nurse at Banaskantha district in Gujarat.
