Actress and activist Ashley Judd has submitted a compelling essay to The Huffington Post, “Costs of Convenience”, excerpted from a trip diary from her travels to eastern Congo with John Prendergast, Co-founder of the Enough Project (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) at the Center for American Progress, to raise awareness of how the global trade in conflict minerals fuels rape and sexual violence as a war weapon. For more information on the campaign against conflict minerals, visit www.raisehopeforcongo.org (Facebook).

Judd has a strong commitment to women’s health, and issues such as poverty and exploitation of women, and HIV/AIDS, and her experiences working with Population Services International (PSI) (Facebook) are issues close to her heart. Judd was also recently featured on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, in a interview by Michelle Miller, “Ashley Judd Lends a Helping Hand”, seen above, stresses the importance of Judd’s long-standing commitment to activism and humanitarian issues, as a legacy above her incredible talent as an actress.
