Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has been appointed as United Nations Messenger of Peace for her contribution in ending violence against women. With the new title, the 33-year-old actress has joined in ranks of fellow actors George Clooney and Michael Douglas. “You have used your voice, compassion and special relationship with the public to create a better world,” Contactmusic quoted UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as telling Charlize, while awarding her the title.
The Oscar winner has founded the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project with the goal of promoting HIV/AIDS education for impoverished children and their families in South Africa.
