It looks like Angelina Jolie has snubbed her father once again. Angelina Jolie and her father, Ray Donovan actor Jon Voight, have an estranged relationship that the public is fully aware of. Jolie first snubbed her father last year when she did not invite Jon Voight to her secret wedding to Brad Pitt. Later, we found out that Jon Voight did not even know about the wedding and that Angelina Jolie had kept it a secret from her own father.This year, Jon Voight was spotted on Father’s Day, which was Sunday, June 21, and he was, once again, all alone. Jon Voight was seen hanging around in Los Aneles, California going to lunch by himself, while Jolie completely ignored her father and was nowhere to be found.Last year, when Jon Voight found out that his daughter Angelina Jolie had not invited him to the wedding, he spoke with Good Morning Britain and revealed that despite their strained relationship, he had no hard feelings over the matter. He said, “You know what they are very happy. The kids must have had a wonderful time at the wedding, they all had their things to do and it must have been very beautiful so I’m very happy for them.” Angelina Jolie has always been painted as catty and difficult to work with, and we can only imagine how her father must feel being ignored by his own daughter. Despite whatever troubles they have faced in their past, Jon Voight has made it known that he does not harbor any negative feelings to Jolie, and has even defended her when she did not win an Oscar, which he felt she deserved.So where was Angelina Jolie on Father’s Day? Daily Mail UK reports that on Saturday, June 20, Angelina Jolie was speaking at a press conference in Mardin, Turkey to discuss the the wrongdoings going on at a Syrian refugee camp. Jolie, who serves as a United Nations High Commissioner for refugees, made it known that the treatment of these refugees was inhuman and that more needs to be done to “help the people flooding into Europe.”What do you think? Does Angelina Jolie get a pass since she was doing something good, or should she stil have made time for her father Jon Voight on Father’s Day?

It's a special mother-daughter trip for Angelina Jolie Pitt and 9-year-old Shiloh. The mom of six brought her daughter to Lebanon on Friday to spend time with a 12-year-old Syrian girl named Hala, whom Angelina met a year ago during a trip for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees."Shiloh is very aware that I hold refugee families in high regard and has been asking to come on missions and meet them for many years," Jolie Pitt tells PEOPLE. "She had heard about Hala since my last visit to Lebanon, and has been wanting to meet her and her brothers and sisters."She continues, "It was wonderful that they were able to meet, play together, and make friends. So many refugees are children. I've often heard them say that the most painful thing is not that they have lost their homes – it is that they have lost their friends." Hala, who has no parents, lives with her five brothers and sisters in a tented settlement in the Bekka Valley. Over 50 percent of the 1.2 million refugees in Lebanon are children. Hala's situation is unfortunately representative of a growing problem. UNHCR says over 60 million people worldwide are displaced – or one in every 122 people – is either a refugee, displaced, or seeking asylum, up from 51 million last year.
"It was humbling and emotional to see Hala and her siblings again, and realize that their situation only becomes harder as time goes on, and aid for refugees is stretched beyond all limits," says Jolie Pitt. "Their memories of Syria are fading. They have stopped counting the days in displacement. Nothing is certain and they feel abandoned." She adds, "Upon leaving the family, Shiloh asked many questions. It is of course hard to explain all of the harsh realities of war and displacement. She said she felt sad, but was happy that she went and is looking forward to the next visit." After leaving Lebanon, Angelina and Shiloh are headed to Midyat Camp in Turkey to mark World Refugee Day on Saturday with UNHCR High Commissioner Antonio Guterres and meet with Syrian and Iraqi refugees before joining Brad Pitt and the rest of the family for Father's Day for a big celebration.

The 40-year-old actress and husband Brad Pitt's charity, the Jolie-Pitt foundation, is working with the Namibian government to protect the country's wildlife. Jolie met with both President Hage Geingob and conservationist N/a'an Ku Se on her trip, according to The Namibian."It is an honour for our family to be able to support N/a'an Ku Se's mission to conserve the land, cultures and wildlife of Namibia and to rescue threatened species," Jolie said in a statement. "I look forward to working even more closely with [conservationist] Marlice and Rudie in the years to come, and with the government of Namibia, to build on the success and effectiveness of this project which hold many inspiring lessons for conservation around the world." Jolie, not only a conservationist but a humanitarian, demanded last week that the world unite in the fight against sexual violence. "There is a global epidemic of violence against women -- both within conflict zones and within societies at peace -- and it is still treated as a lesser crime and lower priority," Jolie, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said last Friday at an African Union Summit in Johannesburg (via the Huffington Post). "Women and girls are bearing the brunt of extremists that revel in treating them barbarically," Jolie continued. "This is inextricably linked to our overall failure to prevent and end conflicts worldwide, which is causing human suffering on an unprecedented level." "We need policies for long-term security that are designed by women, focused on women, executed by women," she concluded. "Not at the expense of men, or instead of men, but alongside and with men."
