Emma Watson tweets advice while answering questions about HeForShe campaign

by Toni Louise Cooper · January 29, 2015

You may remember that Emma Watson recently spoke at a press conference about IMPACT 10x10x10, the newest initiative in connection with the gender equality campaign HeForShe. She continued to make the campaign known as she took to Twitter to answer questions about the new project.

Last week, while at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Watson gave young women some life-long advice when they asked questions about how to change their lives. Some examples of said advice can be seen below:

@duuhhnese Yes! Tell them how it is for you

— Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 23, 2015

@TheWyfeOfBathe Why not have both? — Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 23, 2015

@archangel_grl @UN_Women @HeforShe Conviction.

— Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 23, 2015

@kevlownds @UN_Women @HeforShe keep your eyes and ears open and speak up. — Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 23, 2015

The favorite, however, came in the form of a reply to a young girl who exclaimed that she wanted to become an engineer but whose father disapproved:

@lordvoldemot @HeforShe Become an engineer.

— Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 23, 2015

Replies came in by the pile-load from plenty of female engineers, giving their own encouraging advice:

@EmWatson @lordvoldemot @HeforShe I’m an engineer designing spacecraft for Mars. My dad worked for NASA. You can do it! — Marguerite (@chicspace) January 28, 2015

As a female aerospace engineer……I love this. Thank you to @EmWatson: @lordvoldemot @HeforShe “Become an engineer.”

— Jill Meyers (@jillrandimeyers) January 28, 2015

@EmWatson @JulieBorowski @lordvoldemot @HeforShe 30 years ago I was told to become a secretary. I became a global engineering manager — Kim Visintine (@Visintinek) January 28, 2015

 

While giving the speech in Switzerland, Watson explained that IMPACT 10x10x10 is all about commitment as far as gender equality is concerned, challenging institutions as well as individuals to make it all the more possible.
