Emma Watson is calling on men to fight for gender equality
We will never achieve gender equality unless everyone – girls,
boys, women, men – are involved. That, in a nutshell, was Emma Watson’s
message in Davos, where she came to launch UN Women’s new HeforShe
website.
The UN Women Goodwill Ambassador was interviewing 10 male CEOs who
have committed to advancing gender parity. The companies also released
data on their gender diversity figures – something Watson described as a "big deal".
Speaking to McKinsey CEO Dominic Barton about his company's latest findings
on gender parity, she noted that full female participation in the
workforce could boost GDP by $28 trillion within a decade, the "single
biggest stimulus to the economy".
