Nicole Kidman Donates $500K to Support Human Rights
While speaking at a UN luncheon this week, Nicole Kidman honored her father, who died in September 2014, by pledging $500,000 to the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women.
“I’ve met survivors who’ve experienced the most unspeakable violence,” Nicole, who is a UN Women’s Goodwill Ambassador, said in her speech. “Yet through the UN Trust Fund, I’ve seen them overcome their pain and regain their courage to look towards the future.”
“I’m here today to continue this work and amplify the voices of women survivors through the media and help raise significant funds for programs that address this issue,” she continued.
Nicole also posted on Instagram to honor her late father, writing, “Today would have been my Papa’s 80th Birthday. Miss you Papa, love you so much.”
