In the lead-up to the event, HeForShe launched #MorePowerfulTogether, inviting landmarks around the world to turn off half their lights to demonstrate the power lost when women are underrepresented. The summit underlined this message by bringing together champions from all corners of society to demonstrate that we are truly more powerful together.

In a closing call to action,  Winston Duke said, "As an actor I have always been told that there are no small roles; and in the world of gender justice I've found no statement to be more true. To every single man and boy tuning in to this conversation today, I ask: I am HeForShe, are you?"
