About this stamp

On the Stamp

The left half of a man’s face beside the HeForShe symbol in orange and red, on the ₹5 stamp; with the ₹25 stamp it makes one face.

HeForShe

India Post issued two stamps, ₹5 and ₹25, and a ₹30 miniature sheet on 8 March 2016, International Women’s Day, for UN Women’s HeForShe movement. Launched at the United Nations on 20 September 2014 by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson, HeForShe asks men and boys to stand with women as partners for gender equality, and aims to mobilise a billion men. The stamps’ two halves of a face, a man’s and a woman’s, together form one. Security Printing Press, Hyderabad printed 510,500 of each stamp and 0.1 million sheets.
