While Freida enjoys a life filled with the trappings of stardom, she uses her fame to publicise a number of issues close to her heart.
Tweeting to her fans before taking to the stage alongside stars such as Charlize Theron, she wrote of her aim to support feminism.
She also shared a picture of a school girl on her Instagram account writing: 'This is Sangita..and "in school she learnt how she could build her confidence to never give up even through the toughest times" #62MillionGirls don't have that chance. #letgirlslearn @girlrisingofficial.'
