Violence against women can "probably" be blamed in part on Hollywood's depiction of them as weak sex objects, Nicole Kidman says. The actress—and goodwill ambassador for the UN Development Fund for Women—testified before a House subcommittee to promote humanitarian efforts to relieve such violence overseas. She was quick to add that she isn't interested in those stereotypical Hollywood roles, the AP reports.
"I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career," she said, adding that the International Violence Against Women Act is a good idea because, "in the real world, the laws go unenforced and impunity is the norm." (More Nicole Kidman stories.)
