    BEIJING, Jan. 26 -- Lara Croft star Angelina Jolie has signed up to present a TV documentary on Europe's sex trafficking trade.

    The documentary will talk to victims of the trafficking chain, as well as the criminals who run them.

    The 30-minute programme, to be broadcast in February, will also interview the men who pay for sex with women caught up in the trade.

    Jolie, a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, said she hoped the programme would "empower women and girls".

    The 29-year-old said: "It is a tragedy that in the 21st century hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked and exploited every year."

    The documentary, Inhuman Traffic, will be shown on MTV Networks Europe and online as part of its campaign to end exploitation and sex trafficking.

    The actress said: "I hope that MTV's Exit Campaign will empower women and girls in particular to protect themselves from trafficking by making informed decisions about their futures, and help all of us to understand that we have the responsibility, and the power, to help end exploitation and trafficking, wherever they occur, in whatever form."
