ICYMI, Emma Watson, Global Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women, recently spoke at the launch of the He for She campaign—a movement for gender equality. Through her speech, Emma reminded us about the essence of feminism. It's not just about empowering women, it's about freedom for both women and men.
We're glad that after her moving message, celebrities are using their status to inspire all of us to do the same. Here are few of your fave celebs supporting the #HeForShe campaign.

6. Troian Bellisario. "Yes! If you have not seen Emma Watson's speech to the UN introducing the #heforshe movement, reclaiming 'feminism' as an inclusive and supportive term that is beneficial for BOTH men and women and the extension of the formal invitation to all men to get involved in the conversation that can and will change the way all human beings relate to each other... Do not wait another second. Watch it now. There are too many painful truths to ignore. Gender inequality hurts MEN AND WOMEN and the slow but necessary March towards equality is the only way to truly evolve in our humanity."
