Angelina Jolie and her teenage daughter Zahara meet with lawmakers in D.C. to advocate for the Violence Against Women Act.
Some of the reforms Jolie highlighted included the introduction of grant programs for technology to detect bruising across all skin tones and create non-biased forensic evidence collection.
It should come as no surprise that Jolie has taken up this critical cause. Her list of philanthropic efforts includes traveling to war-torn countries with the United Nations as part of its special envoy to help refugees. She's also helped launched numerous initiatives to help children and sexual assault victims.
Most notably, she founded the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation a year after she adopted her first child, Maddox, in 2002. The organization's objective is to eradicate poverty and improve healthcare and education in Cambodia. Jolie and her now ex-husband, , also launched the Jolie-Pitt Foundation several years later, with the goal of taking up humanitarian causes across the globe. One of the first major donations after launching the foundation was $1 million to Doctors Without Borders.Jolie and Zahara's D.C.
Jolie said the red-carpet moments are just"this little piece of our life" but she was happy"they're able to have some fun with it and not take it too seriously."This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.
