Hot on the heels of being named one of “Forbes”‘s “30 Under 30” and announcing the launch of a new HeForShe website aimed at grassroots organizing on her Facebook page, Emma Watson and HeForShe have appeared at the 2016 World Economic Conference in Davos, Sweden, to deliver their first-ever Parity Report.
Since Emma Watson launched HeForShe last September, the program has become a global movement fighting for gender equality. Now, as announced on Watson’s Facebook page, HeForShe has a brand new website. The announcement is accompanied by a brief interview with Emma, which highlights that HeForShe is not an awareness campaign, but is mission-focused in its goal of achieving gender equality.
Emma Watson, proud feminist, UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, and the closest we have to a real-life Hermione Granger, just started her own book club. Moreover, being the wonderful fan-inclusive celebrity she is, she’s made sure that you can be a part of it! Yesterday, January 7, Emma took to social media to announce that she wanted to start a feminist book club and requested that her fans help her with title suggestions for the club.
On December 3, Emma Watson’s 12-day-long clothing sale on Vestiaire Collective will kick-start and help women in war-torn countries all over the world.
It’s been just about a year since Emma Watson launched the UN’s HeforShe campaign, which works to involve men and boys in the fight for equal rights for women around the world. Since that time, Emma has been a committed and vocal advocate for feminism and equality. As part of that commitment, Emma recently lent her voice to a report by the “Guardian” profiling the experiences of women in the film and entertainment industry, 99% of whom have experienced sexism.
Emma Thompson has given a new interview in which she discusses her upcoming role in “The Legend of Barney Thomson”, in which she plays a 77-year-old hooker, as well as shares some reflections about the current state of the film industry.
Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks) is no stranger to playing strong, outgoing women in both TV and film, but now she has spoken out about her fight to be treated equally in the showbiz world. Natalia also took the time to discuss her band – Molotov Jukebox – its image, and “Game of Thrones”!

Jo has written about a lot of strong women in her work, but fans typically only cite Hermione (and maybe Ginny, if they’re feeling charitable) as her feminist characters. Love Ginny and Hermione as I do, there are so many fantastic women in the series who don’t get enough credit for being brave, smart, and strong. Do you really think Jo would only write a couple of characters to be feminist icons? In my opinion, every woman in the series has something to teach us about being independent, courageous, and wise. In Jo’s world, feminism isn’t just for the bold young warriors: Mothers and professors and fangirls can be feminists, too.
Emma Watson discusses feminism, her gender equality speech, and dealing with fame in a new interview for “Elle UK”.
