Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie will quit her role as a special envoy for the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) but will remain a humanitarian activist, the United Nations said.

Actress Angelina Jolie, who has been on more than 60 field assignments during her 21 years with UNHCR, said she wanted to keep working with refugees outside of the global body.

“I will continue to do everything in my power in the years to come to support refugees and other displaced people,” Jolie said in a statement announcing her departure.

“After 20 years working within the UN system, I feel it is time for me to work differently, engaging directly with refugees and local organizations, and supporting their advocacy for solutions,” she said.

Angelina Jolie has been UNHCRs special envoy since 2012. This year, she visited Yemen and Ukraine to meet with displaced people. The UN high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi thanked her for her service, commitment, and the difference she has made for refugees and people forced to flee.

“After a long and successful time with UNHCR, I appreciate her desire to shift her engagement and support her decision,” Grandi said in a joint statement.

“I know the refugee cause will remain close to her heart, and I am certain she will bring the same passion and attention to a wider humanitarian portfolio.”

“I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity I have had to work with so many outstanding and dedicated UNHCR field officers and other colleagues doing lifesaving work globally and to serve as Special Envoy,” Jolie added.

“I will continue to do everything in my power in the years to come to support refugees and other displaced people. After 20 years working within the UN system I feel it is time for me to work differently, engaging directly with refugees and local organizations, and supporting their advocacy for solutions.”

The UNHCR estimates there have never before been so many people forced from their homes by violence, conflict, and persecution. It estimates that more than 100 million people are currently displaced around the world.

Earlier in September Angelina Jolie arrived in Pakistan to meet people affected by the floods and to highlight the continued urgent need for help. She heard the issues of ladies about their needs and ways to stop similar suffering in the future.
