Luscious-lipped Hollywood
beauty Angelina Jolie has signed up to present a TV
documentary on Europe's sex trafficking trade.
The 30-minute programme to
be broadcast next month will interview victims of the
trafficking chain, as well as the criminals who run
them.
It will also speak to the
men who pay for sex with women caught up in the trade.
Jolie, a UNHCR Goodwill
Ambassador, said she hoped the programme would "empower
women and girls".
The 29-year-old said: "It is
a tragedy that in the 21st century hundreds of thousands
of people are trafficked and exploited every year."
The documentary, Inhuman
Traffic, will be shown on TV and on the web as part of a
campaign to end exploitation and sex trafficking.
The actress said: "I hope
that MTV's Exit Campaign will empower women and girls in
particular to protect themselves from trafficking by
making informed decisions about their futures, and help
all of us to understand that we have the responsibility,
and the power, to help end exploitation and trafficking,
wherever they occur, in whatever form." |
