Emma Watson UN speech on gender equality

Click here for Emma Watson's compelling speech recently made at the United Nations. Six months ago Watson was appointed as goodwill ambassador and is now leading a movement called 'heforshe', which aims to put a stop to gender inequality once and for all. In this speech she talks about commonly used gender-specific terms and labels (i.e, 'bossy'), and discusses different ways in which some language can advocate sexist attitudes.
