#HeForShe

Last weekend, I discovered something that really caught my attention and that I spent most of my weekend on. As I am a huge fan of the actress Emma Watson, I knew she had recently made a speech at the UN, talking about feminism. Although this was an issue that I practically knew nothing about, I decided to look for a video of that speech to see what exactly she was talking about.

To my surprise I found out that, not only she had made a great performance in such a formal situation, speaking firmly and confidently,  but she’d also sent a very eloquent, complete, interesting, and most importantly:  inspiring message.

I got so impressed by this speech that I spent, like I said, the biggest part of the weekend watching it over and over again, and reading some very interesting articles about Emma’s speech and feminism in general. I also learned a lot about the HeForShe Campain and its goals and projects, for example they website they have created for men and boys to take action in a problem that, like Emma says, also includes them.


Therefore, I recommend you all to watch the speech and also, if you feel interested as well, go and visit the articles that I’ll link below.
