CHARLIZE JOINS THE U.N. MISSION

Charlize Theron is the latest U.N. Messenger of Peace, turning her Academy Award-winning fame to ending violence against women and girls around the globe.

After being inducted into her new role by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Oscar-winning actress said that she was taking on her new responsibilities “very humbly, with a very excited heart.”

Charlize also vowed to help send a strong message that violence against women and girls was not acceptable in her upcoming travels to assist Ban’s campaign dubbed “UNite to End Violence against Women,” which was launched in February.

Miss Theron is no stranger to domestic abuse. At age 15, she witnessed her mother shoot her alcoholic father to death while he was threatening the family. She also won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2004 for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos, a domestic violence victim turned serial killer, in Monster.

    Thier will be three attacks on American soil in less than a year.

    Pray this is not true.
