where do I even begin💙 to say that I am honored to be in Brazil with @unicefusa & @unicefbrasil witnessing their life altering relentless fight to end violence against children would be an understatement. 31 children are KILLED EVERY SINGLE DAY in Brazil. And it breaks my heart to say that 90% of this violence is directed towards women & young girls. 51 cases are reported per day, though the majority of cases are NOT reported because to these girls violence is not only normal, but expected. Everything began to change when @unicefbrasil and @fcompaz began to EDUCATE young women. Violence in Recife has decreased by 35%. Education has literally saved the lives of MILLIONS of young girls. Last night, we danced together and we laughed and we smiled and we were changed for the rest of our lives.

You may have heard me tell you this before but Sofia Carson has a heart of GOLD! This story just solidifies that and warms my own heart so I had to share. Sofia recently took a trip to Recife, Brazil for UNICEF's initiative to support children's rights and to spread awareness.

Sofia stopped by the Altino Ventura Foundation that gives clinical assistance and emergency service to low-income patients, she spoke with doctors, volunteers and patients. She also payed a visit to a local community center that helps kids stay off the streets by providing them a place to stay.

She shared a photo and a video of her dancing with some of the kids. It's so sweet. With her post she wrote, "Where do I even begin 💙 to say that I am honored to be in Brazil with @unicefusa & @unicefbrasil witnessing their life altering relentless fight to end violence against children would be an understatement...last night, we danced together and we laughed and we smiled and we were changed for the rest of our lives."

I love the awareness she is spreading and the work she's doing. Sofia, I love you.
