DIOR PRESENTS
Natalie Portman ACTRESS - DIRECTOR - PRODUCER LOS ANGELES, CA, USA
It was like instilled in me very early on
that if there is injustice, you have to stand up
because not standing up against injustice
is being complicit with it.
There is so many different aspects to female equality, really,
that I've been involved in and all of them are
of equal importance because there need to be so many different ways
that we attack the historic inequality and oppression.
And so, you know whether it's been working with the WE Foundation
to create schools for girls and developing nations
and to see, you know, women that I have met through A New Way of Life.
Women's reentry programs from prison in Los Angeles,
who have been traumatized over and over again
in their lives and then come out and become community organizers
and get reunited with their children.
I mean that's like the most moving victories I've witnessed.
By extension, you know, working on this women soccer team
with Angel City FC, it has been so incredible to amplify
female athletes who are so disproportionately ignored by the press.
They weren't being given the same attention that they deserve.
It's been incredible working on all these different projects
that have a common goal but very different approaches to reaching it.
I wish for the next generation of women,
that there is fewer expectations put on them and
that they can just pursue their inner selves.
I think it has been such a long time that we haven't had an amplification
of women's voices, women's voices have always been there
but not everyone was always listening.
So, it's an incredible time to start listening!
