Angelina Jolie Speaks at UN Peacekeeping Defense Ministerial in London

Actress, director, and UN Special Envoy Angelina Jolie arrives for her speech at the UN Peacekeeping Defense Ministerial on Thursday (September 8) in London, England.

Angelina was seen stopping to speak with US Defense Secretary Ash Carter while making her way inside.

“We all know that the credibility of UN peacekeeping has been sadly undermined by the actions of a few intolerable cases of women and children being sexually exploited by the very people in charge of protecting them,” Angelina said (via The Telegraph) in her speech. “Peacekeeping forces can only gain and keep the trust of local populations if they are able to engage with women as well as men in that community.”
