where do I even begin💙 to say that I am honored to be in Brazil with @unicefusa & @unicefbrasil witnessing their life altering relentless fight to end violence against children would be an understatement. 31 children are KILLED EVERY SINGLE DAY in Brazil. And it breaks my heart to say that 90% of this violence is directed towards women & young girls. 51 cases are reported per day, though the majority of cases are NOT reported because to these girls violence is not only normal, but expected. Everything began to change when @unicefbrasil and @fcompaz began to EDUCATE young women. Violence in Recife has decreased by 35%. Education has literally saved the lives of MILLIONS of young girls. Last night, we danced together and we laughed and we smiled and we were changed for the rest of our lives.

Sofia Carson seems to be having the time of her life in Brazil. The star arrived in the country to meet with some of the children and to help raise awareness on childhood violence.

Sofia was just in Los Angeles hosting the ARDYs. The ARDYs aired this past Sunday, June 17 on Disney Channel. After her hosting duties were complete, Sofia hopped on a plane to begin her trip with UNICEF.

I love that she is in Brazil with UNICEF!
