"It is an honor, more than anything is a very big challenge. I belonged to different campaigns, but this is the most commitment and responsibility. For the first time I can not only attract the public with my music that follows me, but also come to bring a social message where we tell women "You're worth it." Do not allow physical or emotional abuse in your dating relationship, "urged the young singer at a press conference.."
— Kany García
