Hollywood star Angelina Jolie said on
Tuesday that a global summit to end
s*xual violence in wars must send the
message that there is "no disgrace" in
being a r*pe survivor and that "the
shame is on the aggressor". British
Foreign Secretary William Hague said at
the opening of the four-day conference
in London that it was only a "weak or
inadequate man" that abuses women - a
statement that drew cheers from the
crowd. The conference is the fruit of a
two-year campaign by UN special envoy
Ms Jolie and Mr Hague, who have
visited the Democratic Republic of
Congo and Bosnia to meet victims of
r*pe during wars. In her opening
remarks to the End S*xual Violence in
Conflict summit, Ms Jolie said she and
Mr Hague had met a woman in Bosnia
who was still too ashamed to tell her
son that she had been r*ped.
