UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie Pitt calls for action on World Refugee Day
The Special Envoy and UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres also met Turkey's President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan to thank him and his people for the country's generosity towards Syrian and Iraqis refugees and to discuss the challenges that Turkey and other host nations face, and their need for support.
In her capacity as co-founder of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, Jolie Pitt also raised her work on women's rights and the global campaign against sexual violence in conflict.
Later, while visiting the Midyat Refugee Camp in Mardin, south-eastern Turkey, she made a powerful World Refugee Day call for more action to prevent conflict and support refugees.
