As if she isn’t already remarkable as the spell-casting know-it-all Hermione Granger, Emma Watson definitely takes “butt-kicking” to whole new level—only this time, it is with the #HeForShe campaign. If you haven’t heard of #HeforShe, chances are, you will soon. The HeForShe campaign is the newly established movement for gender equality, which aims to encourage men and boys to take action against the inequalities faced by women and girls.
Emma Watson has taken her encouraging words to social media, and this campaign has already reached over 1.2 billion people. She can definitely add the title of “Inspirational Twitter Icon” to her list of achievements. Here are just seven amazing and moving tweets Emma has written in response to some of her followers. And just when we thought Emma Watson couldn’t be any more astonishing!
