Angelina Jolie wants kids to 'fight back' with new child rights handbook

'We're going to find that some adults in some countries are going to block the book and the children will find it so I think that's how it's going to reach more children,' says Jolie, posing with the book "Know Your Rights (And Claim Them)", in this undated handout image. Photo: Reuters

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie says she hopes to empower children around the world with tools to "fight back" for their rights with a book she has written with Amnesty International.

Know Your Rights And Claim Them - written with human rights lawyer Geraldine Van Bueren, one of the original drafters of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - aims to equip kids with the knowledge to safely challenge injustices.
