I have long respected the work of UNICEF in different parts of the world, said Ms. Cheung. I am greatly honoured by this new role as a spokesperson and advocate for the most vulnerable children in China, and looking forward to helping to improve public awareness on critical issues facing children. In April 2010 in China, acclaimed international actress and newly appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador (China) Maggie Cheung visited children and women affected by HIV/AIDS in Ruili City, in the south-western province of Yunnan. Although China has relatively low rates of HIV infection, the risk of transmission is significantly higher in parts of Yunnan Province, which borders major opium producing regions in neighbouring countries. HIV prevalence is 0.1 per cent nationally, but rises to 20 per cent among intravenous drug users in Yunnan. The disease remains highly stigmatized and poorly understood by much of the population, factors that could accelerate the spread of the epidemic, particularly among the rural poor, migrants, sex workers and injecting drug users. On 29 April, Ms. Cheung was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to advocate on behalf of vulnerable children, including those affected by HIV/AIDS and disability. Her visit to Yunnan aimed to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and to mitigate stigma associated with the disease. By the end of 2007, an estimated 700,000 Chinese were HIV-positive.

张曼玉女士近日与联合国儿童基金会驻华代表 魏英瑛博士(Dr. Yin Yin Nwe)一同前往云南探望了受爱滋病影响的儿童和社区。作为新任的联合国儿童基金会中国大使, 张曼玉女士亲身了解了爱滋病对儿童所造成的不利影响,同时也看到了联合国儿童基金会与政府部门在当地开展爱滋病预防与关怀专案所取得的显着成效。
