Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, who is a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, is campaigning for provision of basic rights to displaced citizens in their adopted countries.
Jolie, 39, is supporting the organisation’s ‘I Belong’ drive and has signed an open letter which addresses the problem, reported Contactmusic. “Statelessness can mean a life without education, without medical care or legal employment... A life without the ability to move freely, without prospects or hope. Statelessness is inhuman.
Being stateless means you and your children having no legal identity, no passport and few or no opportunities to get an education. Ending statelessness would right these terrible wrongs.”
