AMBER HEARD ENCOURAGES WOMEN TO 'STAND UP FOR YOURSELF' AND 'SPEAK YOUR MIND'

Amber Heard says empowerment is "being able to live your truth, to stand up for yourself, to speak your mind."

The Hollywood star was speaking Sunday (3OCT21) in Paris ahead of L'Oreal's fashion show, which is dedicated to women's empowerment.

Heard is a spokesperson for the cosmetics company, which has launched a campaign to encourage women and men to intervene safely if they experience or witness street harassment.

Heard says that harassment on the street is something "women especially have almost come to take for granted as just normal."
"If women and girls all over the world cannot feel safe just walking on the street, how do we expect to carry demands or expectations of equality and respect into a workplace or into a home?" she says.

The actor, who is currently shooting "Aquaman 2" in London, was accompanied by her baby girl, Oonagh Paige.

The 35-year-old star says having a daughter has been "the most beautiful gift" she's ever experienced.

"It has definitely recalibrated my perspective on literally every aspect of my, of my world, but especially being a woman, raising a girl to be a woman. It's never been more important to advocate on behalf of female empowerment and women's rights in general.

Equality in general, because I want her to have and inherit, come into a world in which she is free to walk down the street without harassment, in which she can carry that sort of freedom with her when she chooses to wear makeup or not wear makeup when she chooses to enter a work-place or work force."

Asked whether she would encourage her daughter to following in her footsteps as an actor, Heard said "I can't even begin to unpack all the problems with my industry for women."

Adding, "but I will support her in whatever she hopes to do and wants to do."
