Actress Jessica Jung Alba, 40, spoke out against 'gender prejudice' with daughters Honor, 13, and Haven, 10, for World Women's Day.
Alba posted a powerful post on personal SNS on the 9th (Korea time) to support the International Women's Day. In the photo he posted together, he poses with two daughters Honor (13) and Haven (10) with an 'X' on his chest, the sobs of his eldest daughters in surprise. But Alba's appearance is almost unchanged from the past and looks like sisters with them.
Alba said: "As a mother of two daughters, I'm constantly fighting to leave a better World than I've found. Not only for them, but for everyone in World, and for the next generation of girls," he posted.
He then said: "I want to make sure that children, like all mothers, have the opportunity to follow their dreams 'no matter gender'. Gender prejudice is a real thing and a systemic problem. "
"To make a change happen, we all need to unite and take the committed steps of fighting for women's equality. On a World scale, this is a much more monumental issue and there is still too much work to do," he added.
Alba, who became a billionaire with the co-founded Ernest Company, said, "According to Crunchbase, women-led startups in 2020 were only 2.3% of VC funding, and Black and Latin X founders received only 2.6% of VC funding. Clearly gender equality is a tough battle that World faces across industry and the entire World and change must be done. "
"At the end of the day we've come a long way but there's still a lot to do. I firmly believe that we all have to do our part to keep the door open so that every woman can be part of the conversation and part of our leadership team. No more supportive words are enough; we must act every day and keep gender equality at the forefront of our work," he added.
Meanwhile, Alba met Warren, a film worker, during filming "Fantastic 2" in 2004. He married in May 2008 and has daughters Honor, Haven, and son Hayes. Alba and Warren are also famous for their Hollywood representative, the Ingot couple.
