Her short hair is styled away from her face and she appears to be wearing minimal makeup. Carrying a large black handbag, the female rights activist seems to be in a rush to get to her next destination.
As she navigated her way through the airport, the star of Harry Potter appeared to be taking things in stride. She was dressed in a comfortable ensemble, with layers that were perfect for travel.
Over the past few years, Emma has been dedicated to using her celebrity status to champion gender equality. Her commitment to the cause is so strong that she has decided to take a break from acting for an entire year to concentrate on studying and enhancing her understanding of feminism. She recently opened up to feminist leader bell hooks in an interview with Paper magazine, revealing that she is taking this break to focus on her personal growth and development.
The actress is deeply committed to promoting gender equality and has made the decision to take a break from her acting career for a year. Her main goal during this time is to expand her knowledge about feminism and to work on her personal development. As part of this journey, she has set herself the task of reading a book every week, as well as participating in a monthly book club. While she initially considered pursuing formal education in gender studies, she realized that she could learn just as much by immersing herself in conversations and reading materials on the subject. Keep up with Emma Watson’s progress on her year-long hiatus as she pursues her passion for gender equality.
Equity: At the age of 25, The Bling Ring star is an ambassador for the United Nations and played a pivotal role in the launch of the widely acclaimed HeForShe initiative in September. Her stirring speech was a highlight of the event.
When asked about how her reading has influenced her outlook and perspective, she described it as a time where she feels like she’s constantly evolving. Although her work with the UN is clear in its objectives, her personal beliefs are still being shaped. It’s an exciting time for her as she continues to define her own opinions. As a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she played a key role in launching the HeForShe campaign last September, where she gave a powerful speech urging men to take a stand against gender inequality.
Emma has gained widespread attention through her advocacy of feminist issues, joining the ranks of other notable celebrities like Angelina Jolie and George Clooney who have also taken up positions within the organization. During a speech at the United Nations, Emma spoke candidly about the sexism she has faced in her life, starting with being labeled ‘bossy’ when she was only eight years old for expressing an interest in directing school plays. She went on to describe how her female friends began quitting sports teams at the age of 15 because they didn’t want to appear too muscular, while her male friends struggled to express their emotions by the age of 18. Emma’s recent appointment further solidifies her commitment to the cause and the UN’s efforts to promote gender equality on a global scale.
At a gathering in the United Nations building, the CEO shared her personal account of facing gender discrimination from a young age. She recalled being labeled as ‘bossy’ at the tender age of eight.
