Angelina can see that there is good she could do by entering politics: “When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered. Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility. I honestly don’t know in what role I would be more useful – I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that [could] make it less possible.”
