Scottish rock singer Annie Lennox has become a spokesperson for the United Nations agency fighting HIV/AIDS.
As UNAIDS goodwill ambassador, she pledged to address the “daily brutality faced by millions of women and girls” suffering from the disease.
The 55-year-old musician achieved fame with The Eurythmics, whose “Sweet Dreams” reached No. 1 in the United States in 1983.
Lennox said: “If we are to end the cycle of human devastation triggered by the AIDS epidemic, we must address the rights of women and girls and challenge their second-class citizen status, which puts them at greater risk of HIV.”
