[edit] Biography

Rosy Senanayake was appointed UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador for her country in 1998.

Much of her professional life has been devoted to promoting Sri Lanka to the outside world, particularly in the area of trade. She was crowned the first Mrs. World in 1984, winning the inaugural competition of that pageant.

Since then Ms. Senanayake has taken a great interest in promoting the rights of women and adolescents in her country. As UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador she has promoted reproductive health services for workers, in particular for migrant women workers in Sri Lanka’s Free Trade Zone, and for young people, through the National Youth Services Council.

She also initiated a campaign with the private sector in Sri Lanka to provide reproductive health services to employees of private companies. She recently starred in a film about reproductive health shot in Sri Lanka.
