Emma Watson, the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador recently took the stage in Davos, Switzerland to speak about the HeForShe campaign, the influence it has had on her own life and the new initiative Impact 10x10x10. "Women share this planet 50/50 and they are underrepresented -- their potential astonishingly untapped," she told the crowd of leaders from around the globe.
The HeForShe campaign encourages men to join the movement towards achieving gender equality. As the campaign's website reads, it "brings together one-half of humanity in support of the other half of humanity, for the benefit of all."
Beyond the importance of her message, Watson is proof positive that young women do not have to be afraid to speak out on issues. All you have to do is to know your subject, practice your delivery and believe in what you have to say.
