Gigi Hadid is spending some time in Dakar, Senegal this week visiting a UNICEF-supported women's shelter.
The American-Palestinian model who is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador has been documenting her trip for her nearly 51 million Insta followers, to spread awareness about the challenges survivors of abuse are facing in the region.
"After being raped and/or impregnated from a sexual attack, it is common that these girls are shunned from their families and kicked out of their home," Gigi writes.
"Employees and volunteers of the shelter....encourage the girls to share and find community through their hardship," the 24-year-old continues. "They are taught to find the positive in their motherhood and relationship with their child, to love and care for them properly and to nurture their passions, whether it be garment-making, agriculture, sports, etc. and learn a skill set that will help them be able to enter the workplace upon their departure from the shelter."
Gigi explains that about 250 children have been born in the shelter over the last 10 years, and that the youngest mother to give birth there was only ten years old.
She also stopped by two UNICEF-supported preschools in the area to learn how the organisation is working to educate as many children as possible.
This isn't Gigi's first time travelling with UNICEF. She travelled to Bangladesh last year to raise awareness about the 1.3 million Rohingya refugees who've fled horrific violence in Myanmar.
