Nicole Kidman is also a new U.N. goodwill ambassador for women:

“After a call from her mother about a BBC program on UNIFEM, Kidman contacted the executive director, Noeleen Heyzer, PhD, and offered to help.

“They plan to travel to Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Afghanistan and Cambodia this year. 'I have a lot of friends who say to me: 'That's so bleak, why would you take that?' ... I do believe there is enormous possibility to change this world,' Kidman said."
