Special Envoy Angelina Jolie renews UNHCR contract, says ‘I’m with you for life’ 1

15 march 2017

GENEVA – Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Angelina Jolie has reaffirmed her commitment to refugees worldwide, telling staff at UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency: “I am with you for life.”

olie visited UNHCR headquarters during a one-day trip to Geneva, speaking to hundreds of staff members. “This is like coming home. I was first here 16 years ago and had no idea what was ahead of me. I am sure many of you sometimes feel the same way.” Jolie previously represented UNHCR as a Goodwill Ambassador from 2001-2012.

In the years she has worked with UNHCR, Jolie noted that the number of people driven from their homes by wars and persecution had surged from 22 million to 65 million, presenting a challenge to the world and in particular the UN Refugee Agency

“You have more people under your care, you have more to be concerned with, you have more to do, and you have less support, and I can’t imagine how hard it must be for you sometimes coming to work every day,” Jolie said.

“Probably like most field officers, I know you think more about those you couldn’t help, than all those you have helped. But know there’s a reason why I’m so proud to be with UNHCR, because the work you do, and what you do in the field, and the lives you help to save and the people you help to get through their days… makes all the difference.”

Speaking of the many challenges facing UNHCR and the broader humanitarian community, Jolie urged staff to “really step forward and say who we are and who we fight for and work even harder. So I am with you, not just for my contract, I am with you for life. You can’t walk away once you’ve joined UNHCR.”
