The plan asks for governments, companies and universities to step in and work together to "bring an end to the persisting inequalities faced by women and girls globally."
Watson outlined the gender equality initiative in her speech, talking about the overwhelming response she received when she first launched HeForShe with a powerful speech in New York City last September. Although some people proved just how necessary this conversation is by threatening her for defending women, she was largely celebrated for her passionate words.

I just want to hold hands in one big group fest, and sing Kum-by-a.
Building the perfect beast.
As a woman, I cant wait to finally get what I deserve!!
I’ve been patiently waiting for liberal men in positions of power (e.g., Senators, CEOs, Corporate Boards) to step aside and allow a woman to assume their role. So far, not a single one has.
Funny, my wife did just fine in high tech ( prohrammer and projects lead).
She is also a published author.
Perhaps the fact that she is d*mned smart had something to do with it.
Oh, and she did not have to boink a grifter (a la Hillary) or a lying low IQ quota baby (like Mochelle) to do it.
mega billionaire Watson tells us how bad women have it
What? You didn’t get your pot and pan set for Christmas?
May I suggest Emma, that you start your campaign with a visit to Saudi Arabia.
The rich, artsy fartsy wackos hit Davos to party! We’re all saved!!! Hallelujah!!!
Celebrities.....is there anything they don’t know? - Homer Simpson
Here in the USA its been illegal to pay women less for the same job for decades. What liberals like to do is compare yearly pay to show that women earn less. The problem is that they fail to include the fact that women tend to take more time off from work.
I don’t have experience with salaried jobs but maybe employers do look at the average amount of time women miss and pay less. As a lifelong hourly worker I have yet to see an employer pay women less per hour for the same job.
What it comes down to is wanting to pay women more than men so the time a female employee misses is all paid time.
I assume she is referring to Muslim countries.
Meanwhile, these same feminists hold in contempt Conservative women like Sarah Palin and Margaret Thatcher who achieved power based on merit.
I would listen intently to Sarah Palin.
Well if the liberal men won’t step aside, the liberal women can always do as Hillary did and sleep her way to the top by marrying the schlub.
I loved this feedback on one site:
“Women Share This Planet And They Are Underrepresented” - Yeah, well men share this planet too and we’re the ones that are expected to make ourselves disposable in the name of protecting women. So yeah, women ARE underrepresented - on the front line and down the pits and slaving away at dangerous jobs that could maim or kill you - So, I wonder Ms Watson - are you going to make sure that women are more represented in those aspects of life or just the nicer things in life like more women in the nice, safe environment of company boardrooms and political institutions where the risk of death isn’t something one needs to worry about?
Is she going to cast a spell on us?
Celebrities, even of the has been variety, are so much better than the rest of us, don’t ya know?
I’m just here for the Emma Watson pictures ;)
The left is obsessed with “equality.” Do they really mean “equality?” equal means the same. So everyone would get the same salary. Toll booth collectors and neurosurgeons would get the same salary. Not almost the same, but the same.
It didn’t even happen in the soviet union, but doctors got 8 times the lowest paid person.
0 and his crowd are trying to lower the highest salaries by confiscation (they call it taxes) and to raise the lowest by just ordering employers to pay more.
Gender equality in the workforce is nonsense as far as I’m concerned; at my job women refuse to work an extra minute while men are expected to work long hours to get work done. They promote women to fend off lawsuits, but they are basically non-essential tokens who hang on as long as possible because in today’s economy they have no role at all.
Any important projects end up with a group of men doing the work; I’ve been in meeting where women have gotten up to leave at their normal exit times, and I walk right out with them; what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. In the past this was normally leveled at mothers, but as more women forego that now the excuse is a sick parent or pet...
