 Music superstar Shakira has signed the World Cancer Declaration
following her recent visit to Geneva as part of her work for UNICEF as a
goodwill ambassador. The 33-year-old Colombian was last week at the
headquarters of the International Labour Organization (ILO) where she received
a medal from the UN agency for her work to help impoverished children. During a
meet-and-greet with the audience, she was presented with the World Cancer
Declaration which she took a copy of, and has since officially signed.
The World Cancer Declaration, which is available in 12 languages, is a is
a tool to help bring the growing cancer crisis to the attention of government
leaders and health policymakers in order to significantly reduce the global
cancer burden by 2020. It represents a consensus between civil society, the
private sector, foundations, non-governmental organizations, public health
experts, government officials and cancer advocates from around the world who
are committed to eliminating cancer as a major threat for future generations.
