The actresses have lent their support to humanitarian fashion brand 'OmniPeace', which aims to stamp out violence against women in the African region, and is run by their friend Mary Fanaro, Fox News online reported.
Earlier this year the duo had joined singer Sheryl Crow at a dinner party to raise awareness for the charity, and now they're taking a new campaign to Senator Hilary Clinton.
The stars are urging gadget fans in US and Europe not to buy electronics, such as cell phones and laptops, which contain materials sourced from 'conflict mines' where the industry is at the centre of violent fighting.
"OmniPeace was created to give back. I can't think of a better way to support my best friend and all the work that she and OmniPeace do to donate to causes supporting peace, education, human rights and the end of extreme poverty by 2025. Mary's passion is so contagious and wonderful. It has taught me that anything is possible with enough perseverance and tenacity," Cox said.

I am from Congo and I really don't know how to express my gratitude besides saying thank you very much for what you are doing for my country. I hope that someday, girls in my country will also be dignified and live a peaceful life.
I would like to heartedly express my gratitude to Aniston and Cox for their help in regard to Congolease women, who have experience tragedy never seen ever in war zone.
