LONDON Angelina Jolie on Tuesday urged world leaders and delegates attending a four-day summit in London to take action to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
Jolie made headlines across the British media with her comments in her role as special envoy to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
"It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict. There is nothing inevitable about it. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians, said Jolie. It has nothing to do with sex, everything to do with power. It is done to torture and humiliate innocent people.
