We’ve got lots of love and admiration for Emma Watson and the UN for working to bring more men into efforts underway worldwide to achieve gender equality. We can’t change the world without them, without YOU.
“‘Gender equality is your issue, too.’
That was the crux of UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador and British actress Emma Watson’s speech at the UN Headquarters in New York this weekend as she delivered a strong message on gender roles and equality and helped launch the new ‘HeForShe” campaign.’…
The campaign’s website asks people to commit to the pledge that ‘[g]ender equality is not only a women’s issue, it is a human rights issue that requires my participation. I commit to take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls.’ Hopefully, by making people realize that this is not a two-sided issue, but one that truly effects everyone, men and boys around the world will step up to the plate and help the cause.”
