Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter, Violet, delivered an emotional speech at the UN event
[Music] Violet Affleck, the daughter of Hollywood A-listers Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, appeared before the United Nations in New York City on Tuesday. The 19-year-old activist spoke about the importance of masks and other preventative devices more than 5 years after the COVID 19 pandemic changed life on the planet for all. Violet was appearing as part of an event titled Healthy Indoor Air, a global call to action. Violet, a firstear student at Yale’s Davenport College, said that it was essential to remain wearing masks to curb the spread of COVID 19. It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say, “We knew how to protect you and we didn’t do it,” the Ivy League student said. Violet said that the current generation was showing an alarming lack of responsibility in going back to business as usual 5 years after the virus forced everyone indoors for months. For adults, the relentless beat of back to normal, ignoring, downplaying, and concealing both the prevalence of airborne transmission and the threat of long COVID manifested in a series of choices, Violet told attendees. The teenager made headlines last year when she demanded the imposition of mask mandates in medical facilities, citing her experience of contracting a postviral condition in 2019. In paparazzi photos, the eldest daughter of the Tinsel Town Staples has often been pictured wearing a mask at events with her family, even if she has been the only one to do so.

Last year, she was photographed wearing a mask and a black sweater adorned with a watermelon, sending a message of solidarity with Palestine. The viral snap sparked a surge in demand for the shirt made by a Chicago clothing company wear the piece, causing the company to have to hire extra staff. [Music]
