Though Watson's speech also called for equal pay and representation in university leadership positions, her focus was on the scourge of campus sexual assault.
She said:
"And so importantly right now, the experience must make it clear that the safety of women, minorities and anyone who may be vulnerable is a right and not a privilege. A right that will be respected by a community that believes and supports survivors and that recognizes that when one person's safety is violated, everyone feels their own safety is violated. A university should be a place of refuge that takes action against all forms of violence."
This isn't Watson's first time addressing the UN General Assembly-- In 2014 she helped launch HeForShe with a speech that called on men to join the fight for gender equality.
