Angelina Jolie urged high school students "to fight for their rights" Not only Jamie Oliver turned his attention to the large fire that occurred on June 14 in a 24-storey residential building in London. Angelina Jolie, the envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, also failed to pass by the tragedy that killed about 79 people.

A 42-year-old Hollywood actress and philanthropist has been helping children from around the world for many years. Yesterday, June 26, Angelina spoke before 600 schoolchildren, starting her speech from the memory of those who died during the tragedy and continuing the appeal to all children, urging them to fight for their rights.

Children, I need you. We all need you. We adults are a bit lost in the modern world. We want you to think that everything is under control and that everything will be fine. So it will be. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is your secret law book. And if you know your rights, no one will deceive you or your friends,.

- began the actress in a video message created by the project of the human rights organization Amnesty International and the London theater organization Chickenshed.

With the power of knowledge about what is right and justice, you can resist. And when you grow up, you can protect yourself and others. This means that you will grow citizens who, through joint efforts, will finish the work begun by my generation.

You will fight for the human rights of all children,.

- the star addressed the schoolchildren.
