UNICEF Pacific has announced their newest Pacific Ambassador, Krishneer Sen, who will advocate for children.
The 27 year old Ambassador from Fiji who is also deaf, will have a special focus on children with disabilities.
Speaking through interpreter Gael Seru, Krishneer Sen says the greatest challenge for children in the region who are living with a disability is their lack of self esteem in the communities they live in.
Mr Sen says there is still a lack of knowledge on their rights and it is important that governments are supportive in raising awareness.
They should support the semination of information about the rights to auralism for deaf children, the right to education, the right to play - all the rights of children. And it's important that the leaders play a big and a supportive role.
Krishneer Sen.
