Let us count the reasons why Emma Watson gets top marks as a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women: she delivers simultaneously moving and self-deprecating speeches about feminism; she doesn't let malicious Internet campaigns rattle her; and she doesn't forget to say thank you.
The actress and skilled orator took to Twitter on Wednesday with some terrific news: the astounding number of people who've tweeted about gender equality movement #HeForShe:
Between 20th Sep & 2nd Oct there were 1.1million #HeForShe tweets from 750K different users, reaching 1.2 BILLION unique Twitter usersOctober 8, 2014
Like a mom whose kid has just scored the winning goal, she then proudly shared this photo and expressed gratitude to all who've participated:
Twitter HQ painted our #HeForShe hashtag on their wall: pic.twitter.com/DtbCwoX6MsOctober 8, 2014
I can't thank you all enough. #HeForSheOctober 8, 2014
Thank you, Emma, for your work on behalf of all women. Here's to another million.
