Emma Watson 艾瑪・華森曾於2014年，到聯合國婦女署（UN Women） 推動 #HeforShe 運動，指出性別平權不只是女性議題，2016更到美國紐約舉行的第71屆聯合國大會中演說，直指大學校園應該為性別平權所做的努力。
再次聽到她的演說，還是覺得非常的感動又有力量，附上原文翻譯如下：
“I know that my university experience shaped who I am. And of course, it does for many people. But what if our experience of university shows us that women don’t belong in leadership? What if it shows us is that, yes women can study, but they shouldn’t lead a seminar? What if, as still in many places around the world, it tells us that women don’t belong there at all? What if, as it is the case in far too many universities, we are given the message that sexual violence isn’t actually a form of violence? But we know that if you change students’ experiences, so that have different expectations of the world around them, expectations of equality, society will change.”
「我知道大學的經驗對我影響至深，當然，許多人也與我一樣深受大學經驗的影響。但如果大學經驗教導我們女生不應擔任領導位置的話，該怎麼辦呢？如果大學經驗告訴我們，沒錯，女生可以讀書，但不能主持研討會的話該怎麼辦呢？如果大學就像世界上許多地方一樣，告訴我們女生在那地方是多餘的話該怎麼辦呢？如果，女生身處的大學就像在其他多不勝數的大學一樣，以為性暴力不是一種暴力的話，我們又該怎麼辦呢？即使如此，我們卻知道，如果能改變大學生在學校的經驗，使我們對於這世界有不同的期待，並對平等有不同的想像與期待，那麼這社會就有可能改變。」
“As we leave home for the first time to study at places that we have worked so hard to get, we must not see or experience double standards. We need to see equal respect, leadership and pay. The university experience must tell women that their brain power is valued, and not just that. But they belong within the leadership of the university itself.”
「我們經過勤奮不懈的努力之後離開家裡進入大學讀書，絕不是為了經驗什麼叫做雙重標準，而是為了感受到什麼是平等尊重、平等的領導機會及平等的酬勞。大學所經驗到的，必須使女生瞭解到他們的聰明才智能夠受到重視，且他們的價值不僅於此，甚至能融入大學本身的領導體系之中。」
“And so importantly right now, the experience must make it clear that the safety of women, minorities and anyone who may be vulnerable is a right and not a privilege. A right that will be respected by a community that believes and supports survivors and recognizes that when one person’s safety is violated, everyone feels their own safety is violated. A university should be a place of refuge that takes action against all forms of violence.
”
「此刻最重要的是，大學的經驗必須清楚表明，女性和弱勢族群的人身安全，甚至是每一個人的人身安全都不是特權，是人皆有之的權利，並且必須受到群體的尊重。這群體必須信任並支持每一個經過傷害之後重新回到正常生活的人，並意識到任何一個人的人身安全遭到侵犯，就如同每一個人的人身安全遭到侵犯。一個稱之為大學的地方，必須以行動對抗各種不同的暴力行為。」
