Agnes, who has just been appointed the spokewoman for music channel MTV’s EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking), said she was honored to take on her new responsibilites.
“I realized a long while ago that I have the ability to talk to the media,” said the 24-year-old as quoted by newsportal okezone.com. “So I thought to myself, why not use it for a good purpose?” she added.
MTV EXIT’s campaign manager Matt Love said the channel had chosen Agnes because of her qualities.
“She’s smart and outgoing,” he said.
As a spokeperson for the human trafficking, Agnes will be involved in raising people’s awareness about human trafficking through music. Together with other musicians, Agnes will tour five cities to hold music programs for the youth, campaigning against human trafficking. The programs will also be aired in other Asian and European countries.
“They [MTV] supposedly expect a lot from me, so I have to carry out this responsibility the best I can,” she said.
