The HeForShe movement exists as a platform that encourages its supporters to act as agents of change in the battle for gender equality to take action against gender injustices suffered by women. The idea of specifically targeting men and boys for this purpose is very influential. Its goal is to bring about the severity of this issue by imploring not only the victims of its effects but the potential oppressors. The founders of HeForShe came to the realization that when women are seen or heard protesting or demarcating any type of gender inequality, it’s often passed by and unrecognized. At times it can even be rejected as biased or ridiculous. But when men, the “guilty party” of this notion are the ones to speak up about its present influence, the world listens.

Gender inequality is one of the most historically prominent issues not only here in America, but world-wide. As with any universal issue, awareness is one of the most important steps in instigating change. This campaign is critical in that aspect and its importance and impacts are huge steps for the progress of this global imbalance with over 1.3 billion HeForShe Activists world-wide.
