Hear My Voice
Emma Watson can add Goodwill Ambassador to her ever-expanding resume. The young actress has just been announced at the latest ambassador for UN Women.
Emma spoke about the wonderful news stating, “Being asked to serve as UN Women’s Goodwill Ambassador is truly humbling. The chance to make a real difference is not an opportunity that everyone is given and is one I have no intention of taking lightly.
Women’s rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can’t imagine an opportunity more exciting.I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience and awareness to this role.”
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director for UN Women went on to say “We are thrilled and honored to work with Emma, whom we believe embodies the values of UN Women. The engagement of young people is critical for the advancement of gender equality in the 21st century, and I am convinced that Emma’s intellect and passion will enable UN Women’s messages to reach the hearts and minds of young people globally”.
Congrats to Emma on this wonderful news!
