Angelina Jolie Launches Fight Against Abuse in London
Looking dashing as always, Angelina Jolie was spotted at the screening of her newest film “In the Land of Blood and Honey” in London, England this afternoon (May 29).
The 36-year-old joined forces with Foreign Secretary William Hague at the Foreign Commonwealth Office to launch a dedicated British team to combat and prevent sexual violence overseas ahead of the film’s screening.
This new initiative was created ahead of Britain’s 2013 presidency campaign and Mr. Hague spoke out saying, “It is in the context of war and conflict that sexual violence is found to the most appalling degree, and on a scale most of us cannot imagine.”
"Sexual violence is an issue which is central to conflict prevention and to peace building worldwide," he added.
Jolie is a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and has visited countries in need including Iraq, Dafur in Sudan and Libya and her new film is her big directing debut and deals with mass rapes by Bosnian Serb forces.
