As a member of my school's journalism team, I'm tasked to write about what I felt about Gender Inequality. I have watched many videos about feminism and this is one of the best speeches I've ever seen! Well done, Hermione Granger!

@angel suggestions are for lifetime 🥰

@Beyblade lovers thanks for the input but that assignment was two years ago! :)

@Beyblade lovers i guess no, i just decided express my opinion, that's it

I think you should write what you see and feel for that

" The more I have spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating" - EMMA WATSON Whole speech was inspiring but this one hit me hard.

She’s amazing. She’s as brilliant as Hermione as well as Emma herself.

The moment you realized that Emma voice was actually trembling not because of nervous but because the strong amount of her eager to start slapping world with fact ✨✨✨

*Emma Watson*

British beauty Emma. Well said.

With american alpha trump

France gave to her the breathe of life. Elle esters toujours francaise

@C D yasssss

Just Jay no she just lived in France for some years and was born in France but she is British

Assalamualaikum

"When I was 18." Me: "Harry Potter!"

What she 18 while giving the speech?

LMAO

Watch kunoichi shrinemaiden if u like gender equality also hell knight ingrid💪🏻

When i was 15

This speech hits so hard, being a feminist myself i’ve had many instances in life where people think i am anti man or people say you are not gonna have a happy married life. Don’t say things like that because males suffer too and I always felt that if i as a human wants to have equal rights and be treated equally then what is wrong with that? I have never said male don’t suffer or have it all in life but after hearing so much i stopped identifying myself as a feminist because i was uncomfortable of the way people would judge me based on my opinions but this speech changed my view and i am so thankful to Emma for such a powerful speech.

@jack johnson Come to India once or any other backward country ,u will surely get the real definition of feminsm.. Here mainly in villages there're so many judgements and social boundaries are there for females only (not men). And when talking about privilages or any special attention as feminism ,it's the man made theory.. Females need special attention during pregnancy and periods coz these are sensitive things ..and a real man values these ,making somone feel special is not a matter of shame but a matter of love and respect I think .. yeah we can say that there are some pseudo feminist who misuse the term feminist but not all, and for them u men literally get a chance to misuse the term "feminist.. Infact in some comments I have read that- in some situations, if mens are unable to argue or justify their comments against any female issues with a female then they spontaneous reply with the particular word "pseudo feminist" which is a worst trend that men're following .. and not all men are good either.. feminist word arises only due to lack of opportunities for females in this male dominant world.. You're just defining "man" made theory not the actual thing for which feminist word arises..

@PR:- what bothers men the most about feminism is the hypocritsy Feminism has never been about equal rights its always been about special treatment and privileges for woman and girls

:(

@ego this's the mentality of most men which emma was trying to say. It's only the basic rights and equality as a human being we need (irrespective of our gender) nothing else . And this thing bothers most of men.

She is an inspiration for those who says they can't do anything and such a slap on face to those who says girls are weak and can't do anything . Love you Emma 🙏🙏

thank you for this comment btw i wanted to make sure that llots and lots of boys support girls i am ashamed of being a boy as.............. bro being sexist/ racist is another thing but counting those who help girls stregthen is way too wrong i have a experience about this so i wrote

bruh

She has a confidence! She really truly be an ideal for every single girl in the world. I love her so much and only wish the dreams of her come true! I've learned how to live from her! Thanks Emma for being this world 💕

“Gender equality is your issue too.” That was the message to men from Emma Watson, Harry Potter star and now United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador, in her widely hailed U.N. speech earlier this week announcing a new feminist campaign with a “formal invitation” to male allies to join. Noting that men suffer from sexism in their own ways, Watson asked, “How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?” Truer words were never spoken. Too bad they are belied by the campaign itself, which is called “HeForShe” and asks men to pledge to “take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls” but says nothing about problems affecting men and boys. Watson clearly believes that feminism — which, she stressed, is about equality and not bashing men — will also solve men’s problems. But, unfortunately, feminism in its present form has too often ignored sexist biases against males, and sometimes has actively contributed to them. Until that changes, the movement for gender equality will be incomplete. Take one of the men’s issues Watson mentioned in her speech: seeing her divorced father’s role as a parent “valued less by society” than her mother’s. It is true that in the 1970s and 1980s, feminist challenges to discriminatory, sex-specific laws helped end formal preferences for mothers in child custody matters. But as fathers began to fight against more covert anti-male biases in the court system, most feminists sided with mothers. There are plenty of other examples. The women’s movement has fought, rightly, for more societal attention to domestic abuse and sexual violence. But male victims of these crimes still tend to get short shrift, from the media and activists alike. Despite several recent high-profile recent sexual assault cases in which the victims were teenage girls, disturbing cases in which boys were victimized — by other boys or by girls — have received far less publicity and sparked little outrage. Experiments have shown that while people are quick to intervene when a man in a staged public quarrel becomes physically abusive to his girlfriend, reactions to a similar situation with the genders reversed mostly range from indifference to amusement or even sympathy for the woman. To a large extent, as feminists sometimes point out, these attitudes stem from traditional gender norms which treat victimhood, especially at a woman’s hands, as unmanly. But today’s mainstream feminism, which regards sexual assault and domestic violence as byproducts of male power over women, tends to reinforce rather than challenge such double standards. Just in the past few days, many feminist commentators have taken great umbrage at suggestions that soccer star Hope Solo, currently facing charges for assaulting her sister and teenage nephew, deserves similar censure to football player Ray Rice, who was caught on video striking his fiancée. Their argument boils down to the assertion that violence by men toward their female partners should be singled out because it’s a bigger problem than female violence toward family members. Meanwhile, in Watson’s native England, activists from women’s organizations recently blamed the shortage of services for abused women on efforts to accommodate abused men (despite the fact that, as Guardian columnist and blogger Ally Fogg demonstrated, even the lowest estimates of the prevalence of domestic violence against men suggest that male victims are far less likely than women to get help). Watson deserves credit for wanting to end the idea that “fighting for women’s rights [is] synonymous with man-hating.” But she cannot do that if she treats such notions only as unfair stereotypes. How about addressing this message to feminists who complain about being “asked to modify our language so we don’t hurt men’s feelings” when talking about misogyny — for instance, not to generalize about all men as oppressors? Or to those who argue that “Kill all men” mugs and “I bathe in male tears” T-shirts are a great way to celebrate women’s empowerment and separate the “cool dudes” who get the joke from the “dumb bros”? Or to those who accuse a feminist woman of “victim-blaming” for defending her son against a sexual assault accusation — even one of which he is eventually cleared? Men must, indeed, “feel welcome to participate in the conversation” about gender issues. But very few will do so if that “conversation” amounts to being told to “shut up and listen” while women talk about the horrible things men do to women, and being labeled a misogynist for daring to point out that bad things happen to men too and that women are not always innocent victims in gender conflicts. A real conversation must let men talk not only about feminist-approved topics such as gender stereotypes that keep them from expressing their feelings, but about more controversial concerns: wrongful accusations of rape; sexual harassment policies that selectively penalize men for innocuous banter; lack of options to avoid unwanted parenthood once conception has occurred. Such a conversation would also acknowledge that pressures on men to be successful come not only from “the patriarchy” but, often, from women as well. And it would include an honest discussion of parenthood, including many women’s reluctance to give up or share the primary caregiver role. It goes without saying that these are “First World problems.” In far too many countries around the world, women still lack basic rights and patriarchy remains very real (though it is worth noting that even in those places, men and boys often have to deal with gender-specific hardships, from forced recruitment into war to mass violence that singles out males). But in the industrial democracies of North America and Europe, the revolution in women’s rights over the past century has been a stunning success — and, while there is still work to be done, it must include the other side of that revolution. Not “he for she,” but “She and he for us."

LOVE Emma she's an inspiration

@Kris D Please just stop

she's an actress, they all act so they can get paid

She is only mine........😠😡

@Matias Durán WTF this language is?? 😟😟😟

That was an awesome speech! I love Emma Watson and how she stands up for what's right, just like Hermione standing up for house elves! She's so brilliant in her speeches, and I'm so happy she decided to stand up for women.

She felt every word that left her lips. Eloquent truly

She is inspiring ! love her message!

Am i the only who is feeling shivering in Her voice.

@Joohwangie ジ True said!

nope

She’s nervous..because its kinda a topic people hate. Because some people who hate feminism don’t realise that they are hating females. I so agree that men are taught to be tough..men are taken as strong. But we need to realise that they are also humans.. But same with females, they are taken as the opposite. They are taken as weak. Why can’t we just agree that both genders are same. Both genders are nothing without each other. I like Emma Watson because she says that all genders deserve to be treated nicely. And guys, she isn’t being selfish. She’s just talking about it because she has been sexualised a lot of times by the media as a kid

@Wafa Sarfraz or maybe you’re the only one feeling not

It's because she talks so much that she cannot breathe

She is such an amazing, intelligent woman. Such a powerful speech!

@Online Doctor Seuss I completely agree. The problem with those feminists hating men and 'wishing they were dead' as such, is that the rest of us are outed for wishing the same upon the male society - when we clearly don't. Being a feminist should be about fighting for the rights of both genders, but in a society that is still so divided, many people seem to be looking for an excuse to spread more hate and violence (when the objective had originally been against the latter). As a teenager and a girl in my last years of secondary school, I have seen countless examples of the struggles both men and women have to face every day. This has to change. Emma Watson has shown pure bravery and outstanding loyalty to both sexes in her speech. He for she has protected the lives of so many, whether it be spreading awareness or raising money to help victims of rape and sexism. We need more people like her to step up and help change the world. (Sorry if this is bad, wanted to reply but i'm terrible with words....)

This is the most powerful and inspiring speech I have ever listened to ❤️

So inspirational & well said What you said is absolutely true

Loved your speech. No change takes over night, everything takes time. I hope, if not this generation, then in our grand-childrens' generation they will see her words becoming reality. Amen ❤️

This is a very good speech. I’ve read the full transcript of this speech and it’s even more impressive, especially coming from a young woman as her. Good role model she is.

yes

"No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality."--- what can be more shameful than this line for humanity.

Emma is truly a gem. Every word seems to come from her heart, she is not one of those "pseudo feminists". She is a true feminist. Each word of hers was 100% true. You are my inspiration. P. S. I love her accent❤

Yeah

i'm practicing my accent but i lowkey started crying, her speech was really touched and emotional

Really?

I’m getting goosebumps with each of her sentence ... really felt something 😃

I really admire Emma Watson. Even when she plays Hermione Granger, Emma is always beautiful, confident and strong. Her speech and voice touched me. She is my inspiration. Emma is a perfect example of a strong, talented and independent woman.

To be very honest I have been searching the channel on Youtube to make my language more fluent. After going through many different channels and English Mentors.

I still love this speech soo much and keep listening to this , she is soo sweet and confident here I love her - not just beacuse she did Hermione beacuse of her maturness and truthness too❤❤❤

Feminism by definition is...and Hermione takes the stage!!!! This is the kind of speech that comes straight from the heart and the speech that sets fire to hundreds of other women waiting to take flight.

at least someone understands the "other side" of this controversy

Wow bravo Emma!! 🤩 You’re an inspiration 💕 Love from France 🇫🇷 P.S your speech made me cry ✨

I love her and the words she says❤️

I have been strongly impressed by her brilliant speech. Wow. Thank you very much for the video!!!

Her voice is so sweet and lovely!! Amazing speech ❤️

Her speech really made me cry 😫😥 I am really proud of you my friend EMMA .

Emma Watson has delivered her speech very seriously and shared her thoughts and feelings. She is right to say that still, there is no gender equality in the world. The fair sex is being discriminated against. This is a serious problem which concerns us all.There is no reason why such attitudes and practices should continue. Human beings, male or female, are one and the same consciousness.

I've heard that Hermione voice for too long I can never forget it. If only people could create more masterpieces like Harry Potter.

I'm really happy that Emma (Hermione) (#potterhead ) has spoken this. And there's something that I'd like to say. This system not only affects women but also affects men. Just think about it. Hopefully someday before I die, I wish I could see a world with sexual equality.

She is absolutely right. Love her.

I love it when she's speaking i can feel her emotions ❤

I believe

AGREE WITH THAT,I LOVE HER POWERFUL SPEECH

Such a powerful speech

So inspired !!! Lot of thanks for English Speech 💕

Thank you for watching :)

This lovely woman is so sensible, I don't know almost a thing abot feminism, but thanks to these kind of women, I encourage myself to read more and get more learnt about this subjects, because it involves us all. And the news word I've learnt while watching this were: "behalf" and "dropping out". This was an amazing video. I can't feel disapointed about Emma cause she's been always celver though.

Soo effective and lovely speech... 😍

i love her speech so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh lord, what a wonderful speech !!!!!!

I just want to watch this video to study English but every time I watch this video, I all nearly cry. Feminism happened to me a long time ago even when I was little, even when I don't know the word "Feminism". English seems to be so wonderful that thanks to it, I can reach other people's opinions, feelings and then think back to myself. Emma Watson is very confident to speak out her feelings in front of many people. As she said: "No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender quality", maybe her work, her inspiration can not change the world, but I hope that in some time, she can change the world in someone's eyes, of course that's including me. Thanks for everything!

it's incredible how she's able to transmit her feelings...Even more incredible, how everything has been ruined by the audio quality....

Really inspiring speech

Woman, you are beautiful, you are strong, and you are powerful. You are right in every single way. We love you!!❤️

thanks , I will be so glad if you will continue to make more videos like this with fine subtitles . ☺

Hermione Granger of my childhood 😍😍🤗

True

I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop. For the record, feminism by definition is: “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.” I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago when I was eight, I was confused at being called “bossy,” because I wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not. When at 14, I started being sexualized by certain elements of the media. When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn’t want to appear “muscly.” When at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings. I decided that I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminist. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, an anti-men, and unattractive. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain and think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved the gender equality. Thank you very very much.

Pls update more British accent speeches.. I highly respect ur work.. Thanks for providing us such a platform to enhance ourselves.. Thanks again

“Gender equality is your issue too.” That was the message to men from Emma Watson, Harry Potter star and now United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador, in her widely hailed U.N. speech earlier this week announcing a new feminist campaign with a “formal invitation” to male allies to join. Noting that men suffer from sexism in their own ways, Watson asked, “How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?” Truer words were never spoken. Too bad they are belied by the campaign itself, which is called “HeForShe” and asks men to pledge to “take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls” but says nothing about problems affecting men and boys. Watson clearly believes that feminism — which, she stressed, is about equality and not bashing men — will also solve men’s problems. But, unfortunately, feminism in its present form has too often ignored sexist biases against males, and sometimes has actively contributed to them. Until that changes, the movement for gender equality will be incomplete. Take one of the men’s issues Watson mentioned in her speech: seeing her divorced father’s role as a parent “valued less by society” than her mother’s. It is true that in the 1970s and 1980s, feminist challenges to discriminatory, sex-specific laws helped end formal preferences for mothers in child custody matters. But as fathers began to fight against more covert anti-male biases in the court system, most feminists sided with mothers. There are plenty of other examples. The women’s movement has fought, rightly, for more societal attention to domestic abuse and sexual violence. But male victims of these crimes still tend to get short shrift, from the media and activists alike. Despite several recent high-profile recent sexual assault cases in which the victims were teenage girls, disturbing cases in which boys were victimized — by other boys or by girls — have received far less publicity and sparked little outrage. Experiments have shown that while people are quick to intervene when a man in a staged public quarrel becomes physically abusive to his girlfriend, reactions to a similar situation with the genders reversed mostly range from indifference to amusement or even sympathy for the woman. To a large extent, as feminists sometimes point out, these attitudes stem from traditional gender norms which treat victimhood, especially at a woman’s hands, as unmanly. But today’s mainstream feminism, which regards sexual assault and domestic violence as byproducts of male power over women, tends to reinforce rather than challenge such double standards. Just in the past few days, many feminist commentators have taken great umbrage at suggestions that soccer star Hope Solo, currently facing charges for assaulting her sister and teenage nephew, deserves similar censure to football player Ray Rice, who was caught on video striking his fiancée. Their argument boils down to the assertion that violence by men toward their female partners should be singled out because it’s a bigger problem than female violence toward family members. Meanwhile, in Watson’s native England, activists from women’s organizations recently blamed the shortage of services for abused women on efforts to accommodate abused men (despite the fact that, as Guardian columnist and blogger Ally Fogg demonstrated, even the lowest estimates of the prevalence of domestic violence against men suggest that male victims are far less likely than women to get help). Watson deserves credit for wanting to end the idea that “fighting for women’s rights [is] synonymous with man-hating.” But she cannot do that if she treats such notions only as unfair stereotypes. How about addressing this message to feminists who complain about being “asked to modify our language so we don’t hurt men’s feelings” when talking about misogyny — for instance, not to generalize about all men as oppressors? Or to those who argue that “Kill all men” mugs and “I bathe in male tears” T-shirts are a great way to celebrate women’s empowerment and separate the “cool dudes” who get the joke from the “dumb bros”? Or to those who accuse a feminist woman of “victim-blaming” for defending her son against a sexual assault accusation — even one of which he is eventually cleared? Men must, indeed, “feel welcome to participate in the conversation” about gender issues. But very few will do so if that “conversation” amounts to being told to “shut up and listen” while women talk about the horrible things men do to women, and being labeled a misogynist for daring to point out that bad things happen to men too and that women are not always innocent victims in gender conflicts. A real conversation must let men talk not only about feminist-approved topics such as gender stereotypes that keep them from expressing their feelings, but about more controversial concerns: wrongful accusations of rape; sexual harassment policies that selectively penalize men for innocuous banter; lack of options to avoid unwanted parenthood once conception has occurred. Such a conversation would also acknowledge that pressures on men to be successful come not only from “the patriarchy” but, often, from women as well. And it would include an honest discussion of parenthood, including many women’s reluctance to give up or share the primary caregiver role. It goes without saying that these are “First World problems.” In far too many countries around the world, women still lack basic rights and patriarchy remains very real (though it is worth noting that even in those places, men and boys often have to deal with gender-specific hardships, from forced recruitment into war to mass violence that singles out males). But in the industrial democracies of North America and Europe, the revolution in women’s rights over the past century has been a stunning success — and, while there is still work to be done, it must include the other side of that revolution. Not “he for she,” but “She and he for us."

The best English speech, Miss Watson ever spoken. 👍🏿😀

I love listen speeches from her and other people they inspire me so much to keep going and enjoy like.

I Used to love her as an Actress and now i love her for fighting for Women Rights 👍🏻💪🏼
