new role as ambassador for ONE Campaign, Omotola said:
“I am fortunate to
be a young woman living her dreams, a trailblazer of my generation. But I also
recognize that many women and girls are not so fortunate. Women and girls are
hit hardest by the effects of extreme poverty, but when we invest in women and
girls, we increase and accelerate the chances of overcoming extreme
poverty – for everyone. That is why I
have joined the ONE Campaign’s Poverty is Sexist Campaign, and I call on the
public to join me by signing the petition on www.one.org/sexist.”
