Celebrities unite to #BringBackOurGirls!

Los Angeles – Celebs have joined forces to create awareness of the #Bringbackourgirls campaign, in aid of over 200 girls who were abducted in Nigeria earlier this year.

US actress Angelina Jolie, who will co-chair a summit in June aimed at ending sexual violence in war zones, on Thursday blamed a "culture of impunity" for the kidnapping of over 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria.

Speaking at the London premiere of her new movie "Maleficant", Jolie said that the purpose of June’s conference, to be co-chaired by British Foreign Secretary William Hague, is “to protect (against) sexual violence in conflict and that relates to the girls in Nigeria,”

She said the world had to "make sure this stops happening and that this is not something that people feel they can get away with, because right now it is and so it's awful that it's gotten to this point."



The Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict will take place at ExCel London between June 10 and 13.
