Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler will receive a humanitarian award for his philanthropic partnership with Youth Villages through Janie's Fund. Janie's Fund was created by Tyler in 2015 to give his voice to vulnerable girls who have experienced the trauma of abuse and neglect. "As a father to three daughters, a son, and, now a grandfather, it broke my heart to learn that each year in America alone 700,000 children are victims of serious abuse or neglect and 68,000 will be sexually abused," Tyler said. "All abuse is wrong -- verbal, physical, sexual, emotional. We need to have better ways as parents to help our children and support them. Way too many kids are experiencing abuse, and we want to change that. Enough is enough." The 68-year-old musician will be honoured at the 2016 Ambassadors' Ball on December 3rd in New York City. Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon has a long history in the fight to end violence against women. "Break the silence," he said "When you witness violence against women and girls, do not sit back. Act! Violence against women and girls will not be eradicated until all of us?men and boys?refuse to tolerate it!"
