Angelina Jolie Attends Conference to End Sexual Violence

Angelina Jolie said a global summit to end sexual violence must send a message around the world that there is "no disgrace" in being a survivor - "that the shame is on the aggressor."

On her arrival at the summit in east London, the Hollywood star dedicated the four-day event to an unnamed and "abandoned" victim of rape in Bosnia.

Foreign Secretary William Hague also announced that the UK will pledge a further £6 million to support survivors of sexual violence in conflict.

Mr Hague said it is only a "weak or inadequate man" that abuses women.
