David Beckham has expressed his hopes for a bright and equal future for his daughter, Harper Beckham.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, the football icon highlighted his desire for Harper, 12, to have the same opportunities as her brothers.
During the speech, Beckham said, “I want my daughter Harper to have the same opportunities as her brothers, and that should be the case for all girls everywhere.” He emphasized that children worldwide face unprecedented challenges, with vulnerable girls often enduring the most difficult circumstances. Beckham called for increased opportunities, collective action, and investment to support girls globally.
David and Victoria Beckham are parents to four children: Brooklyn (25), Romeo (22), Cruz (19), and Harper. David shared his hopes for a world where gender does not limit a girl’s potential, stating, “I want Harper to grow up in a world where being a girl doesn’t determine what you can do, where you can go, or who you can become.”
The speech earned Beckham the Crystal Award for his humanitarian efforts. He expressed his commitment to being a voice for children, saying, “Girls need more than words. They need opportunities, collective action, and investment.”
