In a Time essay, the 'Maleficent' star explained how self-isolation is likely to “fuel a direct rise in trauma and suffering' among America's youth.
, the Oscar winner explained how mandated self-isolation, while necessary to curb the spread of COVID-19, was likely to “fuel a direct rise in trauma and suffering for vulnerable children.”
“We were underprepared for this moment because we have yet to take the protection of children seriously enough as a society,” Jolie wrote. “The profound, lasting health impacts of trauma on children are poorly understood and often minimized.” Social distancing, she explained, has not only “cut children off from their friends, their regular schooling and their freedom of movement,” but also reduced the number of “adult eyes on their situation.”
“All this poses the question,” she added, “What are we doing now to step up to protect vulnerable children from suffering harm during the shutdown that will affect them for the rest of their lives?”
