Hao gender equality
Emma Watson seems nervous at first, but I can see coherence in her speech. She starts with her own experience with her family, her school then her confession of a feminist with her male friend then to a bigger picture: Human rights, where people, men an women perceive the same rights, same opportunities in their life.
As she stated in her speech, no country at the moment achieves gender equality and it doesn't seem to change much from the talk of Hilary Clinton in 1997. She also mentions that it maybe due to the fact that there was too few men who participate the campaigns.
Having a look on the map of HeForShe, I found however, the more men's votes in US and Europe, the less votes on Africa. Is this the answer why do we have Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany or Marissa Mayer as CEO of Yahoo! when here are many women out there doing the job no men do in Jordan or even having no ID card in Guatemala?
