“The more I talk about feminism, the more I realized that working on the improvement of women’s right regarded as hating men. If there is something that I know for sure, it is that this must end. I am saying this, so that you know, feminism is the belief that men and women must have equal rights and opportunities,” Emma Watson said in a speech to support HeForShe campaign.
She was also selected as UN’s Goodwill Ambassador.
Previously, Watson also supported a campaign to protest Vice PM Bülent Arınç’s words “Women shouldn’t laugh loud in the public” with the hashtag #direnkahkaha (#resistlaughter) and photo. (ÇT/BM)
