Today, over thirty Columbia students joined the HeForShe campaign!  We asked students to tell us why gender equality mattered to them.

Here were some of our favorite responses:

  • “My best friends should be paid as much as me.”

  • “No woman’s chance of success should be limited by gender stereotypes.”

  • “I want a better world for my little sister.”

  • “It’s the 21st century. Let’s act like it.”

We will launch the photo campaign in April on our HeForShe Columbia Facebook page. Thank you to all of the Columbia students who made their commitment to gender equality.
