Washington: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has called on her social media followers to be aware of atrocities being committed in Afghanistan. Jolie took to her Instagram handle on Saturday and shared a personal letter she received from a young woman in the country. The letter was blurred out to not reveal the girl's identity.

The 46-year-old actor and humanitarian began the caption of her post by writing, "A young woman in #Afghanistan sent me this letter. I`m protecting her identity, but she hasn`t been able to go back to school since the Taliban seized power."

Noting that women in Afghanistan are "being arrested simply for taking part in peaceful protests," Jolie said the young girl wrote, "I might never be able to go outside again or even be able to speak as I am a girl."
