For more than 20 years, actor Angelina Jolie has aided the United Nation in its efforts to support refugees. But that partnership came to an official end on Friday.
In a joint statement, the “Eternals” actor and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees announced that Jolie will move on from her special envoy role to separately advocate for more human rights.
“I will continue to do everything in my power in the years to come to support refugees and other displaced people,” Jolie said in Friday’s statement. “After 20 years working within the UN system I feel it is time for me to work differently, engaging directly with refugees and local organisations, and supporting their advocacy for solutions."
