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.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
