Angelina Jolie defended before the UN that there would be no peace without women

The American actress Angelina Jolie defended this Friday The United Nations that the world can not end wars while continuing to exclude women from peace processes and decision-making.

"As long as we put almost all the other issues before the rights and participation of women, we will remain trapped in a cycle of violence and conflict "insisted Jolie, who is a special envoy of the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).

The actress gave a speech to ministers and other representatives from around the world who participated in a conference on peace operations of the organization.

Jolie said that on the planet, there are countless examples of women who badume leadership and being an example, but he is reminded that in general, they are still victims of wars and abuses committed there.

"Women are in the absolute epicenter of modern conflictsin the worst possible sense, "he lamented, insisting that in most cases they are still separated from key decisions.

"If we followed the principle that people affected by a problem should be responsible for determining the solution, then Most peace negotiators, ministers of foreign affairs and diplomats they would be women", a point.

Jolie specifically pointed out the current peace talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan, where "thousands of women risked their lives" to ensure that their rights and those of their children are taken into account and for the time being they have not been.

"To fear the abuse of a blue helmet is not a protection. Living in fear that your daughter is being raped by fighters is not a security.

Denying the representation of half of the population in peace negotiations or governments is not the way to achieve long-term stability, "he said.
