blog writing #social media on promoting gender equality: he for a she movement

On September twentieth, 2014, the UN launched the "HeForShe" campaign, the first of its kind. UN Secretary-General Mr. Ban Ki Moon globally launched the campaign. The HeForShe campaign is a solidarity movement advocating for gender equality among women and girls, safeguarding them against violence(Cole,2014). Gender inequality has persisted in different spheres; gender issues are women's affairs, and men are the game's leading players. The campaign objective is to try and galvanize as many men and boys to be advocates for gender equality by encouraging them to take action against inequalities faced by women and girls. Many individuals care about equality; however, they might not know how to promote it. The social media era marks the twenty-first century; It is an era where nearly everyone has a smartphone and can afford and access the internet.
