he for she

With the International Woman’s Day right around the corner, Emma Watson, U.N Women’s Goodwill Ambassador, wants you to take part in making a change for equality. This Sunday, she will be taking part in a Q&A Session in London about achieving gender equality all around the world. For the international guests the Q&A is open via Facebook. Watson is doing this in an attempt to bring light to her HeforShe campaign.

The event will also feature live guests who received the opportunity to attend by responding to a prompt on Watson’s Facebook page. In it, they had to share how they’ve personally made an impact to fix gender inequality, or their own experiences with gender inequality. The lucky fans will get to take part in the Q&A with Emma Watson. Watson launched the HeforShe campaign last September and it urges men to take part in fixing the inequalities and discriminations faced by women.

Emma Watson’s campaign has garnered the support of many famous faces from Oscar Winner Eddie Redmayne to One Direction’s Harry Styles. Her latest supporter was Steve Carell who wore ‘He For She’ cufflinks to the Oscars in support of the movement which garnered a hand-written note by the actress in gratitude.

Take part of the live Q&A Sunday, March 8th at 12:00pm London time.

Visit Emma Watson’s Facebook page to see a video for the event.
