Angelina Jolie traveled to Pakistan to support flood victims following the devastation of the storm last week.

“I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve been to Pakistan many times,” she previously shared.
“I am absolutely with you in pushing the international community to do more. I feel like we say that a lot of times … we talk about cries for help, relief and support, but that’s something very, very different,” she added.
She concluded: “Make governments realize that the lack of fair trade, rising emissions and failure to resolve conflict are causing more death and suffering for millions of families around the world.”
“I think this is a real wake-up call to the world about where we are,” she told a meeting of civilian and military officials in the capital Islamabad.

On Wednesday, the actress and humanitarian shared a series of photos from the wave of protests in the country following the death of Masa Ammini at the hands of vice police.
“Respect to brave, provocative and fearless Iranian women,” Jolie wrote in the caption. “All those who survived and resisted for decades, those who take to the streets today, and Mahsa Amini and all young Iranians like her.”

“Women don’t need their morals policed, their minds re-educated, or their bodies controlled. They need the freedom to live and breathe without violence or threats,’ Jolie, 47, continued.
“To Iranian women, we see you #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini,” Jolie added.
Iranian women burn their hijab or cut their hair in protest.
