Charlize Theron new UN peace envoy

Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has been appointed as United Nations Messenger Of Peace for her contribution in ending violence against women.

With the new title, the 33-year-old actress has joined in ranks of fellow actors George Clooney and Michael Douglas. "You have used your voice, compassion and special relationship with the public to create a better world," Contactmusic quoted U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as telling Theron, while awarding her the title. The Oscar winner has founded the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project with the goal of promoting HIV/AIDS education for impoverished children and their families in South Africa.
