For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle But do not expect outfit-of-the-day mirror pictures or skincare tutorials from Jolie. The actress, who is also a special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said she joined the photo-sharing app “to share … stories and the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.” Her first post on the platform was an emotional handwritten letter she had received from a teenage girl in Afghanistan. Using her platform to highlight the plight of women and young girls from Afghanistan amid the Taliban takeover, Jolie shared the letter, which hid the young woman’s identity but shared details of her fears about living in the country. An excerpt read “20 years and again we have no rights. The life of all of us is dark. We all lost our freedom, and we are imprisoned again.” In a lengthy caption that accompanied the post, which has garnered nearly two million likes since it was posted, Jolie wrote: “Right now, the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate on social media and to express themselves freely. So I’ve come on Instagram to share their stories and the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.” The actress went on to share that she met Afghan refugees when she was on Afghanistan’s border back in 2011.

And I hope you’ll join me.”
