Gender Inequality – What can we do about it?

As of today, gender inequality is one of the most talked about topics by women. However, men seem to pay little attention to it and in the end nobody seems to do anything about it. However, celebrity empowered women such as Emma Watson (who made an inspiring speech at the UN in September 2014) are taking a stand against such injustice and are trying to raise people’s awareness. Actress Patricia Arquette tried doing the same thing during her 2015 Oscars acceptance speech, discussing how unfair it is that in the United States female actresses still get paid less than male actors when making a movie. In the video below, students from the University of Westminster, London share their thoughts on Arquette’s speech and what they think should be done to reach gender equality.

Although her words were great, let’s just admit it, THIS was the best part of the whole speech:
