Angelia Jolie: Millions of children are in danger. We’re not doing enough to protect them
What would you do to protect a child?
I met a father in Afghanistan who was beaten and tortured by the Taliban because he insisted his daughters had the right to go to school.
I met a Congolese girl in Tanzania whose parents were killed blocking armed men from entering their home, so that she could run out the back door carrying her baby brother. When she reached safety, she was so shell shocked that she had trouble handing her brother to aid workers. She wanted to keep him close and protect him with every scrap of effort left in her small body.
A friend of mine lost her parents in the brutal conflict in Cambodia. She grew up without them, but she remembers everything they sacrificed for her and how much they loved her.
