Violet Affleck, daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, has used her voice once again to call for urgent change.
The 19-year-old Yale student spoke at the United Nations in New York during the “Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action” event, where she explained why she is often seen wearing a mask in public. Violet stressed the dangers of airborne illness and the continued fight against long COVID, describing it as neglect to ignore children’s health when solutions exist.
She argued that clean air should be treated as a basic human right, just like clean water, and warned of the growing toll of long COVID on young people, urging world leaders not to steal their future.
