I have long respected the work of UNICEF in different parts of the world, said Ms. Cheung. I am greatly honoured by this new role as a spokesperson and advocate for the most vulnerable children in China, and looking forward to helping to improve public awareness on critical issues facing children. In April 2010 in China, acclaimed international actress and newly appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador (China) Maggie Cheung visited children and women affected by HIV/AIDS in Ruili City, in the south-western province of Yunnan. Although China has relatively low rates of HIV infection, the risk of transmission is significantly higher in parts of Yunnan Province, which borders major opium producing regions in neighbouring countries. HIV prevalence is 0.1 per cent nationally, but rises to 20 per cent among intravenous drug users in Yunnan. The disease remains highly stigmatized and poorly understood by much of the population, factors that could accelerate the spread of the epidemic, particularly among the rural poor, migrants, sex workers and injecting drug users. On 29 April, Ms. Cheung was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to advocate on behalf of vulnerable children, including those affected by HIV/AIDS and disability. Her visit to Yunnan aimed to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and to mitigate stigma associated with the disease. By the end of 2007, an estimated 700,000 Chinese were HIV-positive.

張曼玉女士近日與聯合國兒童基金會駐華代表 魏英瑛博士(Dr. Yin Yin Nwe)一同前往雲南探望了受愛滋病影響的兒童和社區。作為新任的聯合國兒童基金會中國大使, 張曼玉女士親身瞭解了愛滋病對兒童所造成的不利影響,同時也看到了聯合國兒童基金會與政府部門在當地開展愛滋病預防與關懷專案所取得的顯著成效。

聯合國兒童基金會大使都是來自藝術、娛樂、體育或其他領域的傑出公眾人物。他們熱衷於兒童公益事業,致力於提高公眾對兒童問題的認識,為兒童工作爭取廣泛的支持。

我們非常高興張曼玉女士能成為聯合國兒童基金會中國大使,聯合國兒童基金會駐華代表魏英瑛博士說,作為國際影壇最著名的中國影星之一,她將幫助我們繼續提高公眾對於兒童問題的關注度。我們很高興這樣一位廣受尊敬和知名度很高的演藝界人士能夠和我們共同致力於兒童的公益事業。
