  Abstract:  On 20 September 2014, British actress and UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson delivered a speech at the UN headquarters to mark the launch of the latest feminist campaign, symbolically entitled HeForShe. Reaching out through most of today’s major communication channels (twitter, YouTube, Facebook), the movement declared its main intention as that of raising awareness to the inequalities still faced by women and girls worldwide at the dawn of the new millennium. As such, it emerged as yet another echo of a tradition of political activism that started to gain impetus in the 1960’s. However, what set it apart within this context (at least relative to most of its earlier embodiments) was the call for co-operation and the effort to co-opt and actively engage men for attaining the proposed goals, thereby aiming at equality through solidarity.
