In
an effort to solidify unity for HeForShe, a movement for gender
equality, 24-year-old actress and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma
Watson gave a powerful speech about the misconceptions surrounding
feminism.
The
UN Women campaign called "HeForShe" recognizes gender
equality not only as a women's issue, but a human rights issue that
affects all of us, and liberates both women and men from prescribed
social roles and gender stereotypes. This campaign has the goal of
mobilizing one billion men to speak-up and take action in ending the
persisting inequalities faced by women and girls around the world.
In the speech that earned her a standing ovation, Watson stressed the importance of equality, gender roles, feminism and men’s involvement in promoting women’s rights.
"I
decided that I was a feminist. This seemed uncomplicated to me. But
my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular
word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently, I
am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong,
too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men, unattractive even," she
said.
"Why
has the word become such an uncomfortable one?" Watson asked. "I
think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think
it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own
body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the
policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right
that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men."
The
HeForShe campaign next goal aims to get 200,000 men to pledge their
commitment to ending gender inequality. Are you a HeForShe? Take
