Actress Nicole Kidman says being a mother motivates her work as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador in the global fight to stem violence against women.
Kidman, who is seven months pregnant, is an ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women and launched a Web site petition on Tuesday at U.N. headquarters in New York as part of a campaign to “Say No to 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 told a news conference.
“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,” she said.
Kidman has two teenage children from her marriage to actor Tom Cruse and is expecting a baby with her second husband, country star Keith Urban.

- Posted by GladysWhat a hypocrite. She’s allowed her children to be sucked into the cult of Scientology and she sits by and watches as her henchmen beat up on a photographer who can’t defend himself. If she wants her children to have a better life, start acting like a mother to them & get them away from Scientology. And don’t stay silent about a beating that was caught on tape & then say “What attack” when questioned about it.
