In addition to her work, Helena is currently an ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
The mother of one has made two trips to Colombia on behalf of UNHCR in Vogue, the first in 2015.
After returning from her second trip in September, Helena wrote a piece in Vogue about her experiences.
She wrote: ‘When UNHCR asked me to return to Colombia last month, I immediately agreed. Since I was first on Colombian soil, more than 2.4 million refugees have arrived from Venezuela.’
Helena concluded with a request: ‘I invite you to show your support and solidarity… for all the people in the world who have been forcibly displaced.’
On Instagram she said: In Colombia there are 6.8 million people internally displaced by violence and persecution.
‘UNCHR works in hard-to-reach areas across Colombia, making a difference to communities affected by forced displacement.’

When Helena is not working, she hangs out with old friends Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington or compatriot Eva Herzigová.
Helena’s career has seen her walking catwalks and posing in her underwear all over the world, but she also said she was a very shy child.
She revealed that it was thanks to her mother that she became the more confident woman she is today, after sending her to acting classes to “learn to express myself better”, she told The Sunday Times.
From then on, she did child modeling and was crowned Miss Denmark as a teenager before becoming an icon of the fashion world, ushering in the era of the supermodel along with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista.
