Your Excellences， UN Secretary-General， President of the General Assembly， Executive Director of UN Women and distinguished guests， it is an honour for me to be here today.
Today we are launching a campaign called for HeForShe. I am reach-ing out to you because we need your help. We want to end gender inequal-ity，and to do this， we need everyone involved. This is the first campaign ofits kind at the UN. We want to try to mobilize 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.
I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women six months ago. And， the more I spoke about feminism， the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain， it is that this has to stop.
For the record， feminism by definition is the belief that men and wom-en should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of political， economic and social equality of the sexes.
I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago. When I was 8， I was confused for being called bossy because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents，but the boys were not. When at 14， I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media.When at 15， my girlfriends started dropping out of sports teams because they didn’t want to appear muscly. When at 18， my male friends were unable to express their feelings.
I decided that I was a feminist， and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently， I’m among the ranks of women whose expres-sions are seen as too strong， too aggressive， isolating， and anti-men. Unattractive， even.
Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one？ I am from Britain， and I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make deci-sions about my own body. I think
您的卓越成就，联合国秘书长，大会主席，联合国妇女署执行主任和贵宾，今天我很荣幸能够到这里来。
今天我们正在推出一项名为HeForShe的活动。我正在接触你，因为我们需要你的帮助。我们想要消除性别不平等，为此，我们需要所有参与者。这是联合国第一次这种类型的运动。我们想尽量动员尽可能多的男人和男孩来倡导变革。而且，我们不只是想谈论它。我们想尝试并确保它是有形的。
六个月前，我被任命为联合国妇女署的亲善大使。而且，我对女权主义的评价越多，我越发觉到争取妇女权利往往成为男权的代名词。如果有一件事我确定，那就是停止。
为了记录，女性主义的定义是相信男人和女人应该拥有平等的权利和机会。这是两性的政治，经济和社会平等理论。
很久以前我开始质疑基于性别的假设。当我8岁的时候，我因为想要指导我们为我们的父母放置的戏剧而被称为bossy而感到困惑，但男孩却不是。当我14岁时，我开始被媒体的某些元素性化。15岁时，我的女朋友开始从运动队中辍学，因为他们不想出现肌肉发达。 18岁时，我的男性朋友无法表达自己的感受。
我决定我是一名女权主义者，这对我来说似乎并不复杂。但是我最近的研究表明，女权主义已经成为一个不受欢迎的词汇。女性选择不认同女权主义者。显然，我是表现得太强烈，过于侵略，孤立和反对男性的女性队伍之一。没有吸引力，甚至。
为什么这个词变得如此不舒服？我来自英国，而且我认为这是对的，我的收入与我的男性一样。我认为我应该能够对自己的身体做出决定是正确的。我认为
