Game of Thrones stars Lena Headey and Natalie Dormer have joined singer-songwriter and West End lead Beverley Knight to support Plan UK’s new Face Up campaign. All three have had their faces adorned with the words of real girls who have experienced child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM). The words, including ‘bear the scars,’ ‘violation’ and ‘no longer myself,’ were painted on their faces by award-winning artist Marion Deuchars, who is also a Plan supporter. The striking images were shot by renowned photographer John Davis. By putting the stories of real girls where they can’t be ignored, we hope to build momentum, unite opinion and end FGM and child marriage in a generation. It’s all part of Plan’s Because I am a Girl campaign, which aims to ensure that all girls can live safe from violence, go to school, marry who they want, when they want and have their voices heard. They may be on-screen rivals in the epic power struggles of Game of Thrones, but both Lena (Queen Cersei) and Natalie (Margaery Tyrell) are united in the fight for girls’ rights.
