Grammy-winning singer John Legend has shown support for a female empowerment campaign by featuring a long line of ladies in his new music video.
The 35-year-old star's promo for his latest single 'You and I (Nobody In the World)' has been made in support of a campaign called Operation Girl, which focuses on empowering, educating and protecting the rights of women, reported Contactmusic.
"We live in a world where egregious injustices occur regularly against girls and women. We have a responsibility to take action and disrupt the conditions that allow for such tragedies to occur," Legend said.
"Through Operation Girl we hope to amplify the voices and impact of the many organizations doing great work on behalf of girls and women," he added.
The video that features a number of women staring into the camera through a one-way mirror include celebrities like Legend's model-wife Chrissy Teigen, 'Orange is the New Black' star Laverne Cox and comedienne Tig Notaro.
