These are the Key Messages of HeForShe as posed by the UN Action Pack
1. Gender inequality is one of the most persistent human rights
violations of our time. Despite many years of promoting gender equality,
inequalities among women/girls and men/boys continue to manifest in
egregious ways around the world
2. HeForShe is a solidarity movement for gender equality that engages men and boys as advocates and
stakeholders, to break the silence, raise their voices and take action for the achievement of gender equality
3. Gender equality is not only a women’s issue, it is a human rights
issue that affects all of us – women and girls, men and boys. We all
benefit socially, politically and economically from gender equality in
our everyday lives. When women are empowered, the whole of humanity
benefits. Gender equality liberates not only women but also men, from
prescribed social roles and gender stereotypes.
