Emma Watson Faces Online Backlash After Gender Equality Speech

Emma Watson is gaining major traction in Hollywood for her #HeForShe Gender Equality campaign, but has also faced online taunts.

As a U.N. Women Global goodwill ambassador, she delivered a poignant speech about feminism to world leaders at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Saturday.

"We want to end gender inequality, and to do this, we need everyone involved,” Watson said. “We want to try to galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change and we don't just want to talk about it. We want to try and make sure that it's tangible.”
