Maguy Bou Ghosn, Cynthia Karam, and Marilyn launch a campaign to protect children

In an emotionally charged and meticulously choreographed moment, Lebanese actress Maguy Bou Ghosn appeared alongside Marilyn Naaman and Cynthia Karam in a live broadcast that initially appeared spontaneous, before suddenly taking a shocking turn: a girl's screams erupted from the next room amidst an atmosphere of panic. The broadcast was immediately cut short, leaving the audience stunned, wondering about the child's fate and what had happened behind the scenes.

Awareness Campaign Revealed: Acting in Service of a Humanitarian Message

What no one expected was that the incident was a staged scene as part of an awareness campaign launched by the Himaya Association, which advocates for children's rights and protects them from violence. Maguy Bou Ghosn explained in her statement that the live broadcast was pre-planned in cooperation with the association, with the aim of highlighting the hesitant or indifferent reactions that some people may have in similar situations. She said, "We deliberately turned a blind eye for a while, to convey the idea that it's wrong to remain silent."

Child Cruz Boy reveals the truth and audience reactions

After the broadcast ended, Cruz Al-Fateh—who previously played Maggie's daughter in the series "Blood"—appeared to reassure the audience that the entire incident was just staged. She shared the screens with Maggie, Cynthia, and Marilyn to confirm, "I'm fine, it was all staged." This clarification came at the perfect time to calm followers, who initially expressed shock before the situation morphed into widespread support for the campaign and its message.

Direct messages and a call to action: Don't be silent if you see something.

In the second video, the three stars emphasized the importance of not remaining silent when they suspect any instance of violence against children. Cynthia Karam reminded the audience that more than 22,000 children have been subjected to violence and have been assisted by the Himaya Association, while Marilyn Naaman emphasized the need to immediately call the designated number to report abuse. Maguy concluded the message with a decisive phrase that became the campaign's title: "If you have information, let us know."

The campaign successfully conveyed its message through a shocking and thoughtful approach, using art and drama to raise awareness across the community. It was an example of how art can profoundly and impactfully serve humanitarian causes.
