Angelina Jolie's meaningful message, and IPYG's meaningful shout


Angelina Jolie's meaningful message, and IPYG's meaningful shout. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
A Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie went to England and had an official schedule as a envoy of UNHCR on last 10th. It was for attending Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. This summit is for making the international society regard female sexual violence problems as an international problem and seeking the solution plans together. From being appointed as a goodwill ambassador of UNHCR in last 2001 to now, she has been trying to let the international society know that they are in trouble. She has been visiting the displaced people from around the world and supporting them progressively for the international aids.
I think she is a good actress and also a good advocate for other activities.
 

Since the history of mankind began, war is happening continuously for various reasons. Its most victims are female and children. We can see the seriousness of war through a recent event that Nigeria's armed group, Boko Haram kidnapped about 200 teenaged schoolgirls. Also, Japanese Military Sexual Slavery is one of horrors of war which Japan made Korean girls serve as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers when Korea was under Japanese imperialism.
The grandmothers forced for sex slaves are appealing for their damages and struggling to be apologized, but it is still not solved. It is very sensitive and really hurts. It is the fact that although some leaders of an organization or a nation bring about war, only the weak are damaged for that.

 
So, Angelina Jolie wanted through this summit to raise awareness of sexual violence in wartime and to insist that the assertion which sexual violence is unavoidable is wrong. However, I think not only the sexual violence in wartime but also any war have not to be existed in the world.
IPYG, too, is trying to raise awareness of the seriousness of wars and end it. When wars happen, youths are dragged into wars. So, the youths are appealing and trying for peace. I think that to think and act in the weak's shoes are a real peace and a real harmony.
 
 
As Angelina Jolie delivered a meaningful message of 'Ending Sexual Violence in Wartime', IPYG is shouting for a real peace advanced more than yesterday.
