As an avid supporter of HeForShe, which is a solidarity campaign for the advancement of gender equality, Forest Whitaker has long understood the importance of being a man who supports women’s rights.
During a panel discussion for his Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative, which is all about aiming for peace throughout the world, he stated that equality of the sexes is one way to achieve it.
“You can’t really find peace in the world when fifty percent of the world is excluded from the conversation.”
