Natalie Portman is one amazing lady. As a dual citizen of both the USA and Israel, she has really taken to heart the law of the US. Noting that we all have rights in this country to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Portman is taking that legal point of view to heart as an ambassador to FINCA, a nonprofit group that helps women in impoverished countries start their own businesses. Natalie believes in the equal treatment of all people, and while it is a law here in the US that needs to be upheld, Natalie believes there is the possibility to change or question laws in other countries that afford those same opportunities. Natalie is working with FINCA to show the world that the rightness of laws and social systems are evaluated on the basis of the extent to which they promote fundamental human rights and values and in the countries that Natalie is serving as an ambassador for, she is working to change these laws and show that the legal system does not promote human rights and social welfare. Natalie, you go girl!!!
