Angelina Jolie in tears at the "End Sexual Violence in Conflict" summit (PHOTOS)
Angelina Jolie is one of the few genuine
celebrities with a true heart of gold .During
the End Sexual Violence in Conflict' summit
in London today,she was moved to tears as
she listened to victims of sexual assault
speak about their experiences.She spent time
embracing and consoling them .
According to AP,One woman spoke of her
attack in Minova in the Democratic Republic
of Congo:
‘The man said that he wanted to rape me,
that if I refused he is going to kill me.
Then another five men came. They all
raped me. My daughter keeps asking me
about her dad. When I try to reveal who
her father is, it is really hard for me.I fear
also telling her because a lot of men raped
me… it is really hard for me to tell my
daughter. I just feel really depressed, when
I think of it I burst into tears. I feel like I
am nothing. Sometimes I even feel like
dying"
Another survivor said:
‘I didn’t see their faces, I don’t know them,
how can you see someone who is hitting
you in the eyes? How will you know
someone who is inserting a gun barrel into
your mouth, and then between your legs?
Then he leaves, and another one enters.’
Angelina said she wanted to dedicate the
conference to a rape victim she and Hague
recently met in Bosnia.
‘She felt that having had no justice for her
particular crime, in her particular situation,
and having seen the actual man who
raped her on the streets free, she really felt
abandoned by the world..This day is for
her.I’ve met survivors and spent time with
them. I’d heard their stories and became
very emotionally involved and I thought –
what can I possibly do to help,’

Neema Namadamu whose 25 year old
daughter was attacked
The summit which she is co-hosting with
Foreign Secretary William Hague is the
largest summit ever held on subject of sexual
violence in war.
