Angelina Jolie had been active and been advocating for the world’s refugees. This time she took her show to Thailand.Jolie raised her voice on behalf of the even more neglected Rohingya. The UN High Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR) was recently able to gain access to 78 being detained in southern Thailand who arrived after a dangerous journey through the Andaman Sea.
Angelina, the ambassador for the UNHCR, was trying to leverage her celebrity status to put the spotlight on refugees from military-ruled Myanmar, including boat-people from that country’s Rohingya minority.
Jolie sat down in a two-room house on stilts and talked with a female refugee. Meeting the orphans at a boarding school and heard from teenage girls worried that they might be sent back to Myanmar.
