主持人: ……现在让我们来听下一位年轻女性的发言,她将作为这里的名人之一发表的她的演讲。她是一名英国籍演员,同时是性别平等的倡导者。这位女士几年前就开始参与推进女性孩童教育。作为一名人道主义者的职责所在,她已访问过孟加拉国、赞比亚,近期作为一名****刚从乌拉圭回来以赴任她在联合国妇女署的使命。
女士们、先生们,让我们一起欢迎联合国妇女署全球亲善大使,艾玛·沃特森!

尊敬的***、联合国秘书长、联合国大会主持人、联合国妇女署执行主任以及各位贵宾:
今天,我们发起一项名为“他为她”的活动!我之所以站在这里是因为我们需要你们的帮助。我们立志于终止性别不平等,为了做到这一点,我们需要每个人的积极参与!
作为联合国组织这类活动的首例,我们力图动员尽可能多的男人和男孩一起来倡导性别平等!当然,我们不只是希望大家讨论这个话题,我们更希望做出尝试,使这个活动更具实际效力!
I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador forUN Women six months ago. And the more I have spoken about feminism, the more Ihave realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymouswith man-hating.
If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this hasto stop.
For the record, feminism by definition is:“The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities”. Itis the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.
六个月前,我被任命为联合国妇女署亲善大使。而随着我越来越多地谈论女权主义,我就越来越意识到“为女性权益而斗争”竟被如此同化成“仇视男性”。如果有一件事让我毫不怀疑,那就是这种同化必须停止。
郑重声明,女权主义的定义是:相信男人和女人应该享有平等的权利和机会。这是政治、经济和社会环境中性别平等的理论基础。
