Keynote speech by UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie - UNHCR’s Nansen Refugee Award 2014

As a staunch advocate for ending sexual violence in conflict, Special Envoy for the High Commissioner for Refugees Angelina Jolie praised the work of the women of Butterflies in a special recorded message at the 2014 Nansen Refugee Award ceremony. The Nansen Refugee Award marks its 60th anniversary this year and is UNHCR's top humanitarian honour. A courageous Colombian women's rights network - Butterflies with New Wings Building a Future (Butterflies) - received the Award for its outstanding work to help victims of forced displacement and sexual abuse in Buenaventura, Colombia.

I am so proud of my angel. She always finds the most beautiful words. Angelina is so sensitive and loving. What a true role model she is. I love her so much. I've been in love with Angelina for over 10 years which is half of my life.

I wish more people would try to help refugees. Many of these people are going through absolute hell and going through it alone.
