No list of famous global #poverty warriors would be complete without 'Angelina Jolie'. After years of working on global refugee issues with UNHCR Syria, she was appointed in 2012 to the role of Special Envoy for Refugee Issues and has since extended her good work.
2015 was a big year for Jolie, who not only continued to donate her time and money to a wide variety of global charities but also brought light to many of the struggling Syrian refugees, according to the Times.
She frequently works with refugees and makes regular visits to victims of natural disasters. She and Brad Pitt started the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation which aims to eradicate extreme poverty around the world.
She has received numerous awards for all the effort she has put in by raising the awareness of poverty and helping those who need it most. Angelina Jolie is helping this social justice issue because she is raising awareness for a very solemn topic.
