Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie's schedule is becoming busier. Not only because of her acting, directing and family commitments, but also due to her increased humanitarian efforts.
Recently, the 40-year-old actress told People that she is partnering with two British foreign policy experts, Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, with a view to expand her humanitarian work further. In fact, Jolie has already worked with Helic on the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative.
The new partnership, called Jolie Pitt Dalton Helic, aims at working on issues covering women's rights, refugee-related problems, education, health, violence against women and even international justice. They have been working together officially for about a year.
Now they look forward to continue their concerted efforts on their shared international interests, the media outlet quoted the actress saying during an interview with the media outlet. These three women have already visited the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands together. Helic, in fact, is a member of the Board of Director of the International Criminal Court's Trust Fund for Victims.
They also visited Myanmar during the elections in that country and have jointly undertaken several other humanitarian efforts, Just Jarred reported. In March, Jolie visited Lebanon, where she had a reunion with the teenage Syrian refugee Hala, who made friends with the actress' daughter Shiloh during their visit to the Bekka Valley refugee camp in 2015.
On May 16, Jolie is scheduled to visit the BBC in London as part of a day of events to explore resolutions to the global refugee crisis. The actress is scheduled to deliver the keynote speech at the meet.
Born in Bosnia, Arminka Helic has been a Special Adviser to former U.K. Foreign Minister William Hague and was nominated to the House of Lords. In 2014, she was also named a Baroness. On the other hand, Chole Dalton has served as a Special Adviser to the U.K. Foreign Secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office until recently.
