Adnan Malik joins 'Polished Man' campaign to fight child abuse

LAHORE: Pakistani model turned actor Adnan Malik has become the brand ambassador for Polished Man, a movement that sparks conversations about abuse and sexual violence against children.

The Cake actor took to Instagram and announced the news that he is now the brand ambassador for Polished Man. “Every child deserves the right to feel safe and protected. But here we are in 2020 where officially more than 10 children a day in Pakistan subjected to sexual abuse and violence. And that’s probably a small fraction of it because most cases go unreported,” he said in an Instagram post.

“Too many childhoods are being ruined and the trauma of such abuse can last a lifetime. We need to break this subject wide open, to hear our children’s cries and vow to protect the children of this country from further abuse,” he stated.

He added, “This October, men all over the country are coming together to say NO MORE to child violence and end the suffering. Join me and become part of this international campaign with other polished men- Chris Hemsworth, @wasimakramliveofficial, Harvey Spector, @realshoaibmalik and so many others.”

He further added, “I’m asking you to stand in solidarity and “Man Up” by Painting one or all of your nails and show Pakistan your softer side. Children stay strong in silence every day, there is nothing tougher than painting a nail for them.”
