How Emma Watson wrote history at the UN
/
Don’t waste the next 14 minutes, watch this.
Earlier this week Emma Watson visited the UN Headquarters to deliver one of the most eloquent speeches on gender equality we’ve heard in a while.
Launching the HeforShe equal rights campaign, Emma brought truthfulness and strength to what can be a feisty discourse, speaking of gender equality as an issue not solely reserved for Feminist’s, but everyday males and females alike:
“Fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating…this has to stop.” “Gender equality effects men too…when they are free things will change for women as a natural consequence.” “This seems uncomplicated to me.”
Why we love it:
1. It brings powerful femininity to feminism.
2. It values men in a sphere they can feel ridiculed by.
3. It reminds our generation we are a viable voice for change.
