Assignment:
Think of an individual who is a role model of upholding the rights and welfare of men,
women and the LGBT. Provide the reasons why you’ve chosen him or her.
 Anne Hathaway, who has a gay brother and is an advocate for organisations such as the It
Gets Better Project and The Trevor Project, delivered a speech at the Human Rights Campaign
dinner and spoke about LGBTQ+ rights.

'I appreciate this community because together we are not going to just question this myth, we
are going to destroy it,' Hathaway said. 'Let’s tear this world apart and build a better one.'

In 2012, the Oscar winner reportedly planned to donate some of the sales from her wedding
photos following her big day with partner Adam Shulman to non-profits advocating for same-
sex couple marriage, such as Freedom to Marry.

In 2008, she received the Human Rights Campaign Ally Award and told the room of guests:
'There are people who have said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay
marriage, gay adoption — basically of gay rights — but with all due respect, I humbly dissent.
I'm not being brave; I'm being a decent human being. And I don't think I should receive an
award for that or for merely stating what I believe to be true: that love is a human experience,
not a political statement.'

Quiz:

Give a short insight on the quotation below:

Despite the awareness people have regarding gender equality, gender equality still doesn’t exist
in different and important aspects of a person’s life, especially that of women’s. Matters such as
access to education, professional opportunities, pay and public representation still do not give
equal opportunity to women compared to the opportunities given to men. Women remain
underrepresented in top positions. In some countries of the world not a single woman is sitting
in the National Assembly. This statement by Ban Ki-Moon says what needs to be done in order
to achieve gender equality. It is everyone’s responsibility to make it happen.
