Emotional Angelina Jolie advocates for domestic violence law
Angelina Jolie is back in Washington, D.C. to advocate for victims of domestic abuse
Actress and humanitarian advocate Angelina Jolie has spoke in support of the Senate’s renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, her voice breaking as she acknowledged the women and children “for whom this legislation comes too late”
The actress well known for her roles in films such as Salt and Maleficent, was joined by her daughter Zahara, at America’s capital for the Senate’s bipartisan introduction to the Violence Against Women Reauthorisation Act.
The act seeks to prevent and respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking
46 year old Jolie has worked closely with the bill’s sponsors and advocates on provisions to address the impact on kids of domestic violence as well as the long-term health impacts of trauma.
“We have to understand the trauma effects of abuse and put the health, safety, and healing of children at the center of how our legal and medical systems approach domestic violence,”
“These are national and global issues for children’s and families’ health and wellbeing.”
Jolie is also advocating for Kayden’s Law – a law which requires trauma-informed court processes and legal standards and judicial training that will minimises the risk of harm to children.
