QUOTES

Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.

“One in three women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. This is an appalling human rights violation, yet it remains one of the invisible and under-recognized pandemics of our time.”

As a Goodwill Ambassador for UNIFEM, I’ve learned that violence against women knows no boundaries. Join me in helping women worldwide who have suffered unthinkable violence.

I find trying to solve problems and save lives is far more important than my film career.”

I’m especially interested in helping to give visibility to the pandemic of violence against women

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.

I do believe there is enormous possibility to change this world

I think it's important for me as an actor that I say these are the issues I'm going to be committed to. One of them for me is women and children's health around the world and their rights;the other is ovarian cancer

“I hope many others will join with me and UNIFEM to help bring an end to violence everywhere."
