Emma Watson has started a campaign for gender equality called HeForShe.
She has also given a formal invitation to the men to participate. This is a big
problem in the society of today and with this campaign she wants the world to
take a step in the right direction for gender equality.
Emma started this
campaign to work against the big inequalities of the society. This problem
affects both women and men, maybe it´s worse for the women but when it comes to
feelings for example the moral standards are that men should be strong, not cry
and not show weakness. There are certain standard of how men and women should
be in this society but Emma Watson wants to change that and make equal. In her
speech, she said that: “Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive.
Both men and women should feel free to be strong.” Feminism is not only for
women, it´s also for the men”.
Swedish Prime Minister
Stefan Löfven has also taken part of this campaign by pointing out some goals
for the representatives of the world to fight for. These goals are mostly about the incomes for
the women and a non-tolerance of violence against women. He also thinks that the women should be able
to take an equal part of the society by having the chance to get the same jobs
for example. Stefan Löfven got very
inspired and impressed by Emma Watsons dedication to this project and the
inequality.
In her speech she
mentioned this “If not me, who, If not now, when “. With this she meant that now
is the time to make a change and affect people to follow her way for an equal
society.
To solve this problem
we need more people, like Emma, who are ready to fight. You don´t have to be a
celebrity to make a change, you only have to do your best and you can help in
loads of ways. The only thing you have to do is stand up for who you are and
your rights in the society, it´s as simple as that. We think that this is a
good campaign because it´s current issue and we need to fight it together.
