It’s always heartening when a non-political celebrity takes a stand on something outside their own particular work role.
Congratulations to Nicole Kidman, who is goodwill ambassador for the UN Development Fund for Women as well as being an Oscar winning actress, for telling the United States Congress that violence against women and girls is “perhaps the most systematic, widespread human rights violation in the world……[such violence] recognises no borders, no race or class”

And Kidman practises what she preaches, turning down roles that objectify women.
Draft legislation against violence against women has been in front of Congress for over two years. Let’s hope Kidman’s appearance has helped to speed it up.
