Actress Cate Blanchett spoke passionately about the sorry state of Rohingya Muslim refugees at the UN Security Council as a part of Myanmar United Nations in New York, reports JustJared.com.
As a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Refugee Agency, the 49-year-old actress said that nothing prepared her for “the extent and depth of suffering” when she visited the camps of refugees in Bangladesh.
She questioned the council, saying, “I am a mother, and I saw my children in the eyes of every single refugee child I met. I saw myself in every parent. How can any mother endure seeing her child thrown into a fire? Their experiences will never leave me.”
