Yesterday the famous movie star Angelina Jolie came with an important mission to Kenya. This trip was organized by the UN General Assembly in honor of World Refugee Day, which is celebrated around the world on June 20.
Jolie's speech touched the souls of many
The solemn event on the occasion of this special day was decided by the UN to be held in the city of Nairobi. There, in the presence of several hundred soldiers, Jolie delivered a speech in which she addressed people in uniform. That's what Angelina said:
"June 20 is a special day. Today, all citizens of the planet should think about the fact that among us there are people who for various reasons left their native land and live in a foreign land. This is facilitated by many different reasons, but as a rule, all of them, one way or another, are related to wars, natural disasters and so on. People in the form of peacekeepers always in this case are associated with the victims with salvation and hopes for the best, but in the United Nations there are cases when servicemen were no less evil than terrorists or invaders. Unfortunately, now we can safely say that some of them committed sexual crimes against local residents. This, by all means, must be stopped, because then we are much worse than those who make these poor people suffer. The military has a great responsibility, because they promised to defend in their oath. People in uniform need to become an example of how worthy they are to wear epaulettes. "
Jolie's speech was so sincere and sincere, then many of the men who attended the event shed tears. After the speech, Angelina headed to a meeting with women from the Congo, Southern Sudan, Somalia, Burundi and other African countries who were victims of sexual harassment and violence. After communicating with them, Jolie said these words:
"Before us are women who managed to escape from people who cause pain and suffering. Not everyone can survive sexual violence, and after that start living a decent life. It is a great honor for me to be present among these people. "
For this trip, the famous actress chose a stylish beige suit, consisting of a fitted jacket and classic straight trousers. Ensemble Angelina supplemented with a white blouse simple cut and barefoot sandals.
