Millie Bobby Brown was recently seen delivering a speech at the UN, empowering women and girls. The Stranger Things actress became the youngest-ever UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2018.

Millie and UNICEF uploaded a shared Instagram post on March 10, capturing moments from Millie's speech at the UN. In the speech, Millie said,

"Today marks the launch of the POWER4Girls initiative, an initiative that puts adolescent girls at the heart of shaping a more equal world for every girl. In the last 30 years, we have seen great progress, thanks to the tireless work of organizations like UNICEF. But let's be clear, progress is not the same as equality."

She further added,

"Girls are not just the future, they are the leaders of today. Girls and women are the ones who galvanize in times of crisis. We are organizers. We are providers. We are doers, and we won't let another fail."

Fans were quick to notice and praise the young actress.

"Another Emma Watson in the making," a user, @tammyl_1981, commented.
