Angelina Jolie has always been on the frontline of human rights, using her voice and social platforms to highlight the pain inflicted on women from across the globe as a result of bad leaders and government and even, advocating to end several injustices taking place in different countries around the world.
Once again, the 46-year-old actress is using her fame to bring awareness to something so important, not only to the human beings it sadly affects, but to the rest of us.
Angelina Jolie Shares Letter from a Scared Afghan Girl
Angelina Jolie, famous for her blockbuster movies and for her human rights activism, joined Instagram on Friday to share a powerful message. The letter was from an Afghan girl explaining the situation in her country as the Taliban takes over.
“This is a letter I was sent from a teenage girl in Afghanistan,” Jolie wrote in the caption of a gallery of images, including a photo of the letter. “Right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate on social media and to express themselves freely. So I’ve come on Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.”
In the letter, the writer talked about how things were before the Taliban took over the country, highlighting how easy it was to go to school and to work then.
“We all had rights,” she continued. “We was able to defend our rights freely, but when they came, we are all afraid of them, and we think all our dreams are gone. We think our rights have been violated. We cannot get out. Studying and working is too far away. But some people say the Taliban’s change(d), but I do not think so because they have a very bad past.
ll scared. And after that day I thought about what kind of time I should go to school in the morning in this situation, because of their existence, or when I came home from course again, the air was dark, but I could come home very easily, but now I cannot go to the course easily. I think the course will be closed. Maybe we can go back to last 20 years, and again we have no rights. The life of all of us is dark.”
“We all lost our freedom, and we are imprisoned again,” the girl concluded her letter.

Jolie further used the caption to share her story and her personal experience of the horror that Afghans have had to endure.
“I was on the border of Afghanistan two weeks before 9/11, where I met Afghan refugees who had fled the Taliban. This was twenty years ago,” she said. “It is sickening to watch Afghans being displaced yet again out of the fear and uncertainty that has gripped their country. To spend so much time and money, to have bloodshed and lives lost only to come to this, is a failure almost impossible to understand.”

The star, who has acted as a special envoy to the United Nations refugee agency since 2012, continued, saying, “Watching for decades how Afghan refugees — some of the most capable people in the world — are treated like a burden is also sickening.”
“Knowing that if they had the tools and respect, how much they would do for themselves,” she added. “And meeting so many women and girls who not only wanted an education, but fought for it.”
“Like others who are committed, I will not turn away. I will continue to look for ways to help. And I hope you’ll join me.”
The actress also shared a link in the bio of her Instagram page that leads to a news article on the U.N. refugee agency site. The article discusses the humanitarian crisis happening in Afghanistan.
