Today we are launching a campaign called “HeForShe.”
I am reaching out to you because I need your help. We want to end gender
inequality—and to do that we need everyone to be involved.
This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN: we want to try and galvanize as many
men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality. And we don’t just
want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible.
I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the
more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become
synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this
has to stop.
For the record, feminism by definition is: “The belief that men and women should
have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and
social equality of the sexes.”
I started questioning gender-based assumptions when at eight I was confused at
being called “bossy,” because I wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our
parents—but the boys were not.
When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the press.
When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they
didn’t want to appear “muscly.”
When at 18 my male friends were unable to express their feelings.
How does Emma Watson draw
us into the issue?
Opening paragraph
• Write an opening paragraph for your speech
1. Think about PALS
2. Have a way into the topic – how are you going to engage the
audience?
3. Think about what words to stress – show this by underlining the
word
4. Think about when to pause – use ellipses (…) to indicate this
Peer Assessment
• Swap your paragraph with your partner
• Write a WWW and EBI for them
• Have they used a way to engage the audience?
• Have you made the purpose extremely clear?
• What techniques have you used?
