As an ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), actor Angelina Jolie has journeyed extensively around the world and has been privy to countless unfathomable plights that some desperately ‘unfortunate’ and ‘ungodly’ people go through for sheer survival.
She’s been to some places where not many ‘privileged’ people have cared to visit, places where the people for decades have suffered silently, with no ‘kindly’ ear to call out to for help!
Whether it be in the ‘dark continent’ (read: Africa) racked by poverty, illness, gross apathy and neglect or the distant Cambodia where millions suffer still from the ravages of the Khmer Rouge guerillas, Jolie’s eyes have soaked in lot’s of unshed tears around the world.
And now in a bid to raise global awareness about the desperately sorry state of women in Third World countries, the sensuous actor has brought out a special video narrating the ‘horror’ excesses committed on a hapless Cambodian ‘sex slave’.
The video, aired on Oprah Winfrey’s Talk Show on Tuesday, recounts the mind numbing horrors committed on the hapless 13 year old Cambodian girl.
Feeding in some more chilling details of the excesses that this poor girl has had to suffer, Jolie said that the girl was forcefully picked up from her home when a tender 13 and pushed into the dark world of prostitution and sex slavery!
And what’s more, despite suffering such horrors silently over decades, the girl has actually lived on to tell her tale!
Jolie further revealed, “Virgins bring in hundreds of dollars for brothel owners and are high in demand for men with aids, who believe having sex with a virgin will cure their disease. Because these enslaved girls are forbidden to request condoms, they are vulnerable to STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases) aids and pregnancies.”

Angelina, you are the most gorgeous and generous woman in the whole WORLD.
Cambodia is proud you accepted the Khmer citizenship.
God bless you and your extended family.
I appreciate the works of Jolie. She is a good and generous woman that most celebrities don’t. She never thinks of her personal interest while engaged in charitable work.
Thanks a lot Angie for your kindness.
May God bless you and your children.
The international super star-singer Ricky Martin was one very actively involved in this issue. Is he still caring? Anyone knows?
