On the occasion of International Women's Day, 44-year-old Angelina Jolie wrote a column for the American magazine Time. In this article, the actress admitted that recently her two daughters, 15-year-old Zakhara and 13-year-old Shailo, underwent heavy operations almost simultaneously, writes "Gossip".
Jolie said that it was during this difficult period in her life that she realized the importance of female support: according to the star, the girls not only cared for each other after the operations, but even helped nurses in their work.
“The last two months I have spent in the operating room and outside with my eldest daughter Zakhara, and a few days ago I watched her younger sister Shiloh also go under the knife for hip surgery. The girls know I'm writing this because I respect their privacy and they let me share it. They understand that fighting to survive and heal is something to be truly proud of. I saw how my daughters take care of each other. Shiloh learned everything from the nurses with her older sister, and then assisted them. I watched with joy how they truly love each other. I also saw fear and courage on their faces. We've all faced moments of helplessness when the only thing we can do is close our eyes and take a deep breath, ”Jolie wrote.

Angelina Jolie clarified that she was writing this column on March 8, sitting in a hospital room. The star added that it was not without reason that she decided to tell about it on International Women's Day, and also reminded all young girls of their rights:
“When someone saw how my daughters supported each other, they told me that 'it is quite natural.' I smiled, but then I thought that this concept is often abused. In the eyes of society, a little girl cares about other people. The woman who grows out of her is expected to only give, care and sacrifice herself. Girls are often made to think that they are only good when they serve others. If they focus on their needs and desires, many immediately call them selfish. The gentleness of little girls, their openness, their instinct to educate and help others should be appreciated and not condemned. We must do much more to protect women and girls. We must protect them not only from the heinous violation of their rights, but also from those manifestations of injustice that so often go unnoticed. On this day, I want us to appreciate women and take care of them, ”said the star.
