Angelina Jolie praises Violence Against Women Act for ‘heroism’ in passing bill

Famed actor Angelina Jolie praises the ones responsible for making the Violence Against Women Act possible.

Jolie issued this praise in her interview with NBC News this Wednesday.

There she highlighted “It is personal to everyone. Everyone who cares about family, everyone who cares about children, everyone who cares about their own safety and the health of their community.”

But “I [think] this country doesn’t recognize what a serious domestic violence and child abuse problem it really has.”

This claim comes shortly after the American Senate renewed the act this Thursday, as part of their $1.5 trillion spending bill.

During the course of her interview, she also went on to say, “My children’s health is my priority at this moment.”

“And my focus for the last few years has been to help my family and … to focus on helping change laws to protect other families and other women and focus on their stories,” she added before concluding.
