HeForShe is UN Women’s solidarity movement for gender equality. HeForShe is changing the traditional gender equality narrative to be more inclusive, recognizing that gender equality is a benefit to all. HeForShe invites men to take part in the gender equality movement in support of the women in their lives, but also as individuals who stand to benefit in a gender equal world. HeForShe is working to unpack and shed light on gender equality issues, especially gender stereotypes and assumptions, that are damaging to all genders. Equality cannot be achieved unless we are all equal, and that is what HeForShe is all about – equality for all.
