Global Goal #5
Emma Watson Supports Gender Equality
Blogged by Emily, Jessica, Cassidy, Avery, and Avrielle
British actress Emma Watson is currently involved with a campaign called He For She which she launched on September 20th 2014; that supports gender equality. She is a Goodwill Ambassador for UN women. Emma Watson formally invited men to join the cause because she felt that gender equality is their issue too. Both genders have their own stereotypes which limit them. Emma Watson said “Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong”. To end gender inequality everyone must be involved. This is the first campaign for this issue in the UN. Emma Watson explained how the more she speaks about feminism the more she realized that fighting for women’s rights has been associated with “man-hating”. Men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. No country in the world has yet to say that they have achieved gender equality, but we can work together to change that. Can you help us?
