The British edition recalled that not yet fully recovered from the operation to remove the mammary glands, she continued to provide assistance to refugees. Jolie, currently a UN Goodwill Ambassador, traveled to the Congo with the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary, William Hague, to raise awareness of the country's humanitarian crisis and to raise awareness of violence against women. The Hollywood star visited a refugee camp and met with representatives of the government of this country.
"Angelina Jolie has dedicated her name, prestige, and her brilliance to a few noble causes," reports The Times, highlighting the actresses' significant financial aid to people in need. The article also says that Jolie, as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, has made many trips to conflict zones, risking her own life.
“Jolie used her privileged position and influence to help open schools, hospitals, disaster camps, legal consultations and nature reserves in places where they were most needed,” the authors of the publication note.
Last year, Jolie made a choice that, according to the media, arouses special respect. When the actress found out that she was a carrier of a genetic abnormality that her female relatives suffered, and therefore would definitely get breast cancer, Jolie decided to go for a radical preventive mastectomy. Aware of the hype that will follow, she has published a list of procedures and problems associated with this operation.
Jolie's act and words influenced the decision of the United States Supreme Court to ban the patenting of individual genes.
The so-called "Angelina Effect" has contributed to public awareness of the importance of genomic medicine. “Angelina Jolie deserves a standing ovation,” conclude The Times.
