Amal Clooney spoke at a conference in Los Angeles against the illegal carrying of weapons

After the lawyer Amal Clooney last summer became a mother, she rarely appears in public. And now, yesterday it became known that Amal flew to Los Angeles from London, where she now lives with her husband George Clooney, twins Alexander and Ella. This visit was made by the lawyer in order to take part in the Watermark Conference for Women.

A donation of $ 500 thousand

The event, which Mrs. Clooney flew in, was timed to various problems that worried modern women. One of them was the topic of violence with weapons, overwhelming the United States. This issue was specially put on the agenda after 10 days ago in the city of Parkland, Florida, one of the ex-pupils shot more than 20 students, 17 of whom died from wounds.

Her speech started with what Amal said about the emotions that she and her husband George experienced after seeing on TV:

"When I turned on the news and heard about the tragedy at Parkland's school, I could not believe what was happening. It was so wild that I wanted to scream with horror. When we began to understand what happened, it turned out that the former student turned on the alarm, and then began to shoot the children. If we omit the moral side of this situation, then immediately the question arises, where does the teenager have weapons? How did it happen that he could use them quietly in an educational institution? And this is not an isolated case. I also heard earlier that such incidents in the United States occur all the time. I think that it is necessary to fight against this, and first of all, everything must be done so that the government will pay attention to this problem.

Children who witnessed a terrible story at the Parkland School, organized an action called March For Our Lives. This is a very smart decision on their part, because such an event will not only attract those who are not indifferent to the problem, but also be able to raise money to fight illegal possession of weapons. George and I also decided to participate in this action and donated 500 thousand dollars. In general, we have a hope that since the children themselves organized such an action, it means they care not only their lives, but also the fate of millions of citizens around the planet. I'm sure that in our society there will still be something to change with regard to weapons and cruelty. For example, I very much hope for positive changes. "

Amal demonstrated an elegant image

At the conference, Mrs. Clooney appeared in an elegant, but at the same time low-key image. On Clooney, you could see a dress fitted with a fastener on the bodice in front, sleeves-lanterns and a straight midi-length skirt. This outfit George Clooney's wife decided to emphasize with a dark leather belt with red decor and black shoes. As for hairstyle and make-up, then the lawyer remained true to herself. The woman's hair has dissolved, and the make-up has executed in a red-brown scale with an accent on lips.
