Mia Farrow: “With knowledge comes responsibility”
Mia Farrow has been a high profile advocate for children's rights, working to raise funds and awareness for children in conflict affected regions, predominantly in Africa. She is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and has worked extensively to draw attention to the fight to eradicate polio, which she survived as a child.
Since 2007, Farrow has been involved with the Dream for Darfur campaign, which has made a major effort to focus public attention on China's support for the government of Sudan, with a special focus on the 2008 Summer Olympics. To raise awareness about situation in Sudan, Farrow began a water-only fast on April 27, 2009. On May 8, after 12 days of fasting, she called a halt to the fast due to a downturn in her health.
Farrow received the France Legion of Arts and Lettres award, the Refugees International McCall-Pierpaoli Humanitarian Award for "extraordinary service to refugees and displaced people", the Tiannamen Square Award, and the Leon Sullivan International Service award.
