It was just a few weeks ago that Nicole Kidman was in Washington, D.C. to talk to lawmakers about violence against women. Now Nicole, who’s an ambassador for the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) is turning her talk in to action by making a trip to Kenya. The Australian actress will tour the country, visiting a hospital and school, to see first-hand the work being done by UNIFEM while also raising awareness and bringing attention to the plight of women worldwide. Nicole says that African women “need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band-aids, but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights.”
