Victoria Vows To Protect African Babies From Aids

Victoria Beckham has joined the likes of Angelina Jolie, Emma Watson and Leonardo DiCaprio to be named a new UN International Goodwill Ambassador.
The star – who missed the opening of her London fashion store to be there – said she felt her public profile meant she had a duty to do more about woman’s health. At the press conference in New York, she said: ‘I am mother and I am a woman. I will do whatever I can to raise awareness. I feel very passionate about this.
“I recently visited South Africa and was so touched by the women I met and felt inspired. I came home and I knew I had to do something.
“It’s taken me to get to 40 to realise I have a responsibility as a woman and as a mother. For some reason people will listen to me. This is the beginning of an incredible journey for me.
