"If not me, who? If not now, when?"

2014 #HeForShe Campaign

Emma Watson, one of the UN Women Goodwill Ambassadors delivered her speech at the UN and has been 'trending' in all kinds of social media outlets.

She opened her speech with the following:

"Feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of political, economic and social equality of the sexes."

How true is this today? Not so much, unfortunately. Especially in what we call today, Third World Countries. We must as a people of the world, make a change -- actually, be the change. It is not easy or simple but it can be done. I invite you to watch her speech and to listen with the ears of the heart. No matter where you may be or what you do, a small change is all we need.

Miss Watson did bring up a very important point though, "I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body." Now this part is tricky, as a believer in Christ, a mother and simply a woman, decisions about our bodies should be made in the eyes of our Creator and not what society dictates for us and doing what is popular especially when it comes to matters of life. Think about it, if we want equality, we must then be just!

A here's a final remark from Miss Watson's speech:

"All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men and women to do nothing." - English Statesman Edmund Burke
