The Power of Girls with Alyssa Milano and Dawwie

UNICEF is on the ground in 190 countries and territories, supporting children with lifesaving supplies and programs. In all wars, it is children who suffer first and suffer most. UNICEF is calling for an immediate end to the hostilities in Israel and Gaza. UNICEF and its partners are responding to the immediate needs of children and families in Gaza with medical supplies and medicines, as well as mental health and psychosocial support. UNICEF will continue to respond to critical humanitarian needs as the situation evolves. To learn more about UNICEF’s work and to donate please visit unicefusa.org/ActNowemergenciesShow more

In this inspiring eighth episode of the season, Alyssa Milano joins Kevin in studio in New York City.

Alyssa recalls her early acting career which began at the age of 13 on “Who's The Boss?” and what it was like being a child actor. They chat about her earliest experiences with activism at the age of 15 and her lifelong dedication to breaking stigmas.

They are then joined for an inspiring conversation with Dina Heikel from The Dawwie Initiative in Egypt - a Unicef supported project focused on empowering young women in a culture that still seeks to silence them. She shares how the Dawwie initiative is giving young women (and young men) agency and confidence to stand up for themselves and each other.
