To be a role model, to bring up six children, to shoot socially-oriented films, to skillfully maneuver in the world of show business and political establishment, to fight for gender rights, to oppose sexual and physical violence, few succeed, but Angelina Jolie continues to conquer new peaks and conquer the first lines in the news line. On the eve of the International Women's Day tabloid Elle invited the actress to create a cover story and interview. Note that for the conversation was invited former US Secretary of State John Kerry, who took over the role of an interviewer.
One of the important topics discussed during the interview concerned the upbringing of daughters. Jolie admitted that the head of education puts individuality, trust and responsibility:
"I am always honest with my daughters and I say that everyone has the right to make their choice. Anyone can choose a dress or makeup, but only your actions and your mind, are able to distinguish you and characterize. Tell yourself who you are and what you want to achieve in this life, do not be afraid to fight for your point of view and for others who need freedom. To live to wait and humble is terrible! "
Jolie increasingly appears as a public and political figure, holds meetings within the framework of the UN humanitarian mission, but, according to the actress, she did not immediately realize the importance of her work:
"I admit, in my youth I was apathetic to humanitarian problems. Awareness of importance came only in the process of cooperation with charitable foundations, and then in communication with volunteers and refugees. I became interested in legislation, gender and migration rights. Over time, I realized that in many ways, romanticized the reality that was happening. It seemed to me that if I addressed public speech and attracted public attention, everything would change immediately, but it was a mistake. Being a humanist is difficult when the law is imperfect. The root of many problems lies with politicians and in legislation. "
In the role of the UN Goodwill Ambassador, Jolie met with refugees and people affected by sexual and physical violence, the conversations forced her to review the principles of her work:
"Accusative sentences disappear or do not reach the court - it's scary and you need to change the principle of work and attitude in society to such cases. Now I work closely with the government and representatives of the law, the only way I can influence the current situation. "
Angelina Jolie touched upon the topic of women's rights in an interview and noted:
"It is important for women all over the world to feel support, solidarity in the struggle for their civil and personal rights. We have traveled a long and hard way, have fought hard for what we have now, so it is our duty to help the needy! "
