  • Important To Break Silence About Child Prostitution: Mallika Sherawat
Actress Mallika Sherawat says it is important to break the silence in many countries about child prostitution and the need to prosecute the offenders.
 
The 40-year-old actress was recently invited to Amsterdam by the Dutch organisation -- Free A Girl -- to visit their headquarters and talk about the issue of sexual exploitation of children and human trafficking. 
 
"It is important to break the silence in many countries about child prostitution and the need to prosecute the offenders. Now it's time for action," Mallika said in a statement. 
 
 
The actress also features in a documentary "Free a Girl", which was shot extensively here.
