Angelina Jolie
the 45-year-old Angelina Jolie held an online conference with former U.S. Secretary of state Madeleine Albright. The conversation was moderated by American journalist Mika Brzezinski, and the lecture was sponsored by the National democratic Institute for international Affairs (organization created by the US government).
the Actress said that there are many social factors which hinder women to develop. Albright, in turn, said that the empowerment of women worldwide is the emergence of “women can change the political situation, running to the government positions”. In her opinion, they should be part of the decision-making mechanism.
Women make a great contribution, they are caring by nature, they are strong, intelligent. Why do so many women still not aware of their own importance? Rape, lack of punishment for rape, domestic violence… There are many areas where we still ask: “Please, stop to hurt us” and “Please, bring him to justice, if he will hurt me”,
— said Jolie.
During the isolation Jolie held a conference on the theme of ill-treatment of children, hunger and poverty in the United States, wrote an article about the children for Time magazine.
last month, the owner of the award “Oscar” has donated $ 200,000 to the legal defense Fund of the NAACP.
Rights do not belong to any one group. We cannot allow discrimination and impunity, there is no explanation or justification. I hope that we can unite as Americans to solve deep structural errors in our society
she said then in a statement.
Jolie did not remain indifferent to the unrest occurring in her native country, and spoke about the need for legislative reform that will ensure the safety of U.S. citizens.
