Emma Watson is my hero because she is changing the world for young boys and girls with her HeforShe campaign. Her message is that you should be yourself and not what someone wants you to be This is called gender equality. Gender equality is that boys and girls have the same rights and opportunities. She is doing this by using her fame to give speeches at schools about being who you want to be and not what someone else wants you to be or expects you to be. Boys don't have to be strong and tough and girls don't have to love fashion and always be crying. She is my hero because even though she is famous, she feels equal to regular people and wants to inspire them.
