The pair met to discuss the issues that affect women across the world. During their meeting, Trudeau said, “The ‘HeForShe’ campaign has extraordinary impact around the world, making men
champions of women’s issues that are everyone’s issues. Her (Emma’s) voice is extremely important in making people realise how important this is.”
The actress also expressed her excitement while meeting Justin Trudeau.
“It’s been such an exciting visit for me to come visit your parliament. It was so inspiring that you made your cabinet 50/50. We’re very excited that you’re a ‘HeForShe’ Youth Ambassador. I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with that title,” she said.
Earlier the Harry Potter star was seen showed off her hip-hop skills in a new viral video by beatboxing as “Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda spouted a feminist freestyle rap.
The 25-year-old actress and United Nations Women’s Global Goodwill Ambassador interviewed the actor-composer as part of the organisation’s HeForShe Arts Week, which was set up to encourage arts and cultural organisations to get involved in the fight for gender equality.
