Angelina Jolie in Harper Bazaar…

 

Actress and filmmaker Angelina Jolie is known for using her voice to champion human rights causes around the world. Her latest producing project, The Breadwinner, tells the story of an 11-year-old Afghan girl named Parvana who dresses as a boy in order to feed her family in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where women were not allowed to work or attend school. As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Harper’s Bazaar, Jolie shares her thoughts on women’s rights today and our responsibility toward each other and our environment.

Women’s Rights

International law requires that women and girls must be equal with men and boys. This means full equality in:

• The right to participate in international, national and local politics and society.
• The right to education, work, and access to the economy.
• The right to health, including sexual and reproductive health.
• The right to life, and not to be subjected to violence, especially rape and domestic violence.
• The right to equality in their relationships among families, communities, and religions

This legal duty to ensure gender equality is obligatory on all States in the world.
