UNICEF: Mia Farrow visits Cental African Republic
In a rapidly arranged ceremony, President François Bozizé awarded UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Mia Farrow a presidential Medal of Honour in recognition of her services to his nation. A renowned humanitarian and internationally acclaimed actress, Ms. Farrow is in the Central African Republic (CAR) to highlight one of the world's most neglected crises - a conflict that has partly spilled over from neighbouring Chad and Sudan, and has left some 150,000 people displaced in this landlocked, isolated country. Ms. Farrow heard testimony from women in Birao who said many of them had been raped by rebels and were forced to flee during the battle for the town - much of which was destroyed. In the haze of this complex conflict, what is not in doubt is the pressing need for protection.
