Question

Speech by UN Women Godwill Ambassador Emma Watkon at a special event for the HeForShe
campaign, United Natiods Headquarters, New York, 20 September 2014
Today we are launching a campaign called 'HeforShe,'
I am reaching out to you because I need your help. We want to end gender inequality
and to do that we need everyone to be involved. This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN:
we want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender
equality And we don't just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible. I was appointed six
months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for
women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know
for certain, it is that this has to stop. For the record, feminism by definition is: "The belief that
men and women should have equal rights and
opportunities. It is the theory of the political,
economic and social equality of the sexes." Why is the word [feminism) such an uncomfortable
one?
I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman 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 decision-making of my
country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can
say that there is no one country in the world
where all women can expect to receive these
rights.
No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality.
Men I would like to take this opportunity to extend our formal invitation. Gender
equality is your issue too. Because to date. I've seen my father's role as a parent being valued
less by society, despite
my needing his presence as a child as much as my mother's. We don't
often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes, but I can see that they are, and that
when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don't have to
be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won't feel compelled to be submissive. If men
don't have to control, women won't have to be controlled. Both men and women should feel free
to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong.... It is time that we all
perceive gender on a spectrum, not as two opposing sets of ideals.
