“HeForShe is a movement for every man, everywhere.
It comes at a time where inaction is simply not an option.

—UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka

Encourage all the men in your life to Join the HeForShe movement

So much press was generated after Emma’s speech!

As a first step, you’re invited to listen to, and learn from, the scores of inspiring activists who make up the feminist movement. I’m sure that before long you will have lots of ideas about how you can make your pledge to “take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls” a tangible reality.”
