Kidman has been a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF since 1994 . The Australian actress claimed: "I find trying to solve problems and save lives is far more important than my film career."
Nicole wore a pink wristband at the British première of the movie "The Interpreter" as a tribute to her mother Janelle’s battle with breast cancer.
"I’ve been put in a position where I’ve been given a lot. I think it’s my duty to give something back," Kidman has been quoted as saying.
It has to be noted that Kidman is also a Goodwill Ambassador for UNIFEM since 2006.
A pair of her jeans raised $11,000 at a charity auction for "Jeans for Genes".
Kidman was also involved with the "Little Tee Campaign" for Breast Cancer Care to design T-shirts or vests to raise money for breast cancer. Kidman’s mother, Janelle, is a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed in 1984.
In 2008, Kidman urged people to add their names to a petition at www.saynotoviolence.org to stop the perpetrators of violence against women around the world.
Nicole Kidman participated in "Futures Without Violence's RESPECT! Challenge" in September, 2012. It’s a national public action campaign and contest designed to ignite a conversation about the invaluable role that parents, teachers, coaches, family, and mentors play in our most formative years. The RESPECT! Challenge asks: "Who would you like to thank for teaching you respect?"
