Look, look, it's Hermione! In the UN!
Since she graduated from college last year, Emma Watson has been named the UN Women's Global Goodwill Ambassador and has been involved in various campaigns for women's rights. But this Saturday she upped her game and took her fight to the world by addressing the United Nations on the subject of feminism and gender inequality in one killer speech.
Watson was there to launch the 'HeForShe' campaign, which is aimed at getting men and boys worldwide involved in the fight to end gender inequality. She talked about how feminism has become an 'unpopular' word that is all too frequently associated with 'man-hating' and invited all the men of the world to know that 'gender inequality is your issue too'.
