Angelina Jolie was one of the many women in October to come forward accusing producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, and she's not slowing down anytime soon when it comes to discussing misconduct in Hollywood
On Wednesday, the actress and activist spoke in Vancouver at the U.N. Peacekeeping Defense Ministerial Conference and delivered stirring words about cracking down on sexual abuse in all industries.

"All too often, these kinds of crimes against women are laughed off, depicted as a minor offense by someone who cannot control themselves, as an illness, or as some kind of exaggerated sexual need," she continued. "A man who mistreats women is abusive."
Jolie also discussed sexual abuse worldwide in her speech, calling for the protection of women and demanding more attention be paid to prevention of sexual assault.
In October, Jolie (who is the Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) went on record stating that Weinstein made advances to her in a hotel. “I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,” Jolie explained in an email to New York Times. “This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.”
