UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman (in YSL) answers questions at a press conference against violence towards women at the United Nations on Tuesday in New York City.

“One in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime,” Nicole said. “That’s an extraordinary statistic. Yet do we ever hear it?”

The 40-year-old pregnant actress encouraged the signing of an online petition to support the elimination of violence against women.

“I’m a mother, I have a child on the way, I have two children in the world and a lot of (my motivation) is about realizing the things that are wrong and how can I contribute,” she added. “What are the things I can contribute to help my children have a better life and help other children around the world have a better life and other citizens of the world have a better life.
