艾玛·沃森达Emma Watson沃斯论坛演讲
Since HeForShe launched in New York last September, I think it would be fair to say that my colleagues and I have been stunned by the response.
The HeForShe conference was watched over 11 million times, sparking 1.2 billionsocial media conversations, culminating in the #HeForShre hashtag becoming sopopular that Twitter painted it on the walls of its headquarters. And men from almost every country in the world signed up to our commitment.
Everyone, from Desmond Tutu to Prince Harry to Hillary Clinton to Yoko Ono have issued their support or contacted us since September 20th. Everything from marathons being run, merchandise being created, 15-year-old boys writing to national newspapers deploring female discrimination, young girls collecting hundreds of signatures –it’s all happened in the last four months. I couldn’t have dreamed it, but it’s happened. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for your support.
So what is IMPACT 10x10x10? It’s about engaging governments, businesses, and universities and having them make concrete commitments to gender equality. But I want to hear from the human beings that are behind these organizations. I spoke about some of my story in September; what are your stories?
Girls, who have been your mentors? Parents, did you make sure you treated your children equally? If so, how have you done it?
Husbands, have you been supporting your female partner privately so she can fulfill her dreams too?
Young men, have you spoken up in a conversation when a woman was casually degraded or dismissed? How did this affect you? How did this affect the woman you stepped up for?
Business men, have you mentored, supported, or engaged women in leadership positions? Writers, have you challenged the language and imagery used to portray women in the media?
CEOs: Have you implemented the women’s empowerment principles in your own company? What change have you seen? Are you someone that has been persuading men to become He for Shes and collecting their signatures for their website? How many have you got?
We want to know. We want to hear from you.
One of the biggest pieces of feedback I’ve had since my speech is that men and women want to help but they aren’t sure how best to do it. Men say they’ve signed the petition. ‘What now?’ The truth is, the ‘what now’ is down to you. What your He for She commitment will be is personal and there is no best way. Everything is valid. Decide what your commitment is, make it public, and then please report back to us on your progress so that we can share your story.
We want to support, guide and reinforce your efforts.
IMPACT 10x10x10 is about concrete commitments to change, the visibility of thesecommitments and the measurability of them, too.
How has the campaign impacted me so far?
I’ve had my breath taken away when a fa n told me that since watching my speech she has stopped herself being beaten up by her father.
I’ve been stunned by the amount of men in my life that have contacted me since my speech to tell me to keep going, and that they want to make sure that their daughters will still be alive to see a world where women have parity economically and politically. While I would love to claim that uh…this campaign and the results of it are a result of my incredible speech writing skills, I know that it is not.
It is because the ground is fertile. It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments and in our workplaces, and they know that the world is being held back in every way because they are not.
Women share this planet 50/50 and they are under – underrepresented, their potential astonishingly untapped.
We are very excited to be launching IMPACT 10X10X10 to bring He for She into its next phase.
If you’re a He for She, and I’m assuming you are because otherwise you’d be in somebody else’s press conference right now, I’m here to ask YOU: What is the impact you can have? How, what, where, when, and with whom?
We want to help. We want to know. And we want to here from you. Thank you very much.。
