Angelina Jolie Launches Centre to Fight Violence Against Women

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has launched an academic centre to combat violence against women in war zones across Europe.
 
It'll be the first of its kind and will be based at the London School of Economics.
 
The Oscar-winning actress and Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees believes the centre, which is due to open next year, will help to boost the global campaign for women's rights and stamp out the use of rape and sexual violence as a weapon.
 
Forces TV's Paula Middlehurst spoke to Professor Christine Chinkin, who's part of the team heading up the new centre.
