Nicole Kidman to Congress: Violence Against Women is Unacceptable

Nicole Kidman, Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), speaks during the “International Violence Against Women: Stories and Solutions” hearing at Rayburn House Office Building on Wednesday (October 21) in Washington, D.C.

“Violence against women is not prosecuted because it is not a top government and urgent social priority. We can change this,” the 42-year-old Aussie actress told Congress. “[They] need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights.”

FYI: Nicole is wearing a 3.1 Phillip Lim dress.

Violence against men is Unacceptable too.
There are a lot of women out there who abuse men, which gets overlooked a lot.
No one should be abused, man or woman or child or animals or plants.

U can see clearly the lines – wrinkles on forehead & around the mouth & eyes …
Iam truly fid up with this subject opened time after time & people post stupid subjects about the same story … when clearly it obvious she is not using Botox
I must admit she does look really YOUNG & she reminds me of her look in the 90s

I never understood how people could be truly narrow minded , when some one like Nicole kidman in a primer or a certain public appearance , there are 50 factors playing a role in her look & u start hearing stories about Botox & the same subjects is opened over & over , then she is in a new occasion with less make up ” the case here ” & obviously she is 100% Botox free … people go like ” her botox is lying off !!!! ” they should understand bottox injects last for minimum 3 months , her Omega appearance was last week !!

Ouch.. that law enforced has got to hurt a lot of cultures who consider women and children private property, just a little lower than land, livestock and crops.

United Nations Development Fund for Women is a joke as most of their leaders and members are of those cultures who do not respect the freedom and basic rights of women or children and will not enforce any law that takes away the man’s control over their bargaining tool, to keep, barter or kill at his whim.

Agreed Bessett. She’s a beautiful woman. The filler in the lips is out of control. Amazing and sad that someone can be that renowned for their beauty and talent and still be insecure enough to tinker with their face.

I feel so proud of be a fan of hers, she´s certanly a rule model
