Victoria
Beckham today told how she wanted to make a difference to the women of
the world as she was made a UN goodwill ambassador for an AIDS charity.
The
former Spice Girl told a press conference at the United Nations
building in New York that she was ‘honoured’ to be made an ambassador
for their UNAIDS campaign.
Beckham
– who missed the opening of her London store to be there – said she
felt her public profile meant she had a duty to do more about woman’s
health.
At the press conference in New York, she said: ‘I am mother and I am a woman.
'I
will do whatever I can to raise awareness. I feel very passionate about
this. I recently visited South Africa and was so touched by the women I
met and felt inspired. I came home and I knew I had to do something.
'It's taken me to get to 40 to realise I have a responsibility as a woman and as a mother.
'For some reason people will listen to me. This is the beginning of an incredible journey for me.
'I have people mentoring me. I am going back to South Africa in a few weeks and then further afield next year.
