Emma Watson donates £1 million to anti-sexual harassment campaign
By Mike Wright
Actress and campaigner Emma Watson has donated £1 million to a new campaign aimed at ending sexual harassment in the UK.
The 27-year-old’s representatives confirmed to the Telegraph that she had given the large sum to the UK Justice and Equality Fund three days ago.
The Beauty and the Beast actress has since been joined by other stars including Keira Knightley, Emma Thomspon and Tom Hiddleston, who have donated sums ranging from £10,000 to £500 to the organisation.
The fund has been set up with the support of some of UK’s most high profile actors to “end the culture of harassment, abuse and impunity” and aims to raise £2 million via a crowdfunding site.
It is being seen as the UK’s response to the Time’s Up campaign in the US, which emerged out of the sexual abuse allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Following the donation, Waston told the Observer: “It’s easy to dismiss harassment and abuse as being caused by ‘one or two really, really bad men’ but the UK statistics point to a much bigger and more structural problem. This issue is systemic, as opposed to individual, one-off events.
The donation comes after 190 female British and Irish actresses, including Gemma Arterton, Tessa Thompson, Gemma Chan and Jodie Whittaker, signed an open letter calling for an end to sexual harassment and inequality in the workplace.
The signatories are planning to wear black dresses at Sunday night’s Bafta Awards as a sign of solidarity with their American colleagues who held a similar protest at the Golden Globe Awards last month.
The open letter read: “More than half of all women, and nearly two-thirds of women aged 18 to 24, say they have experienced sexual harassment at work. One in five women in England and Wales have experienced some type of sexual assault after the age of 16. This should not be tolerated and cannot and should not be our norm. We can do better than this."
It added: “So, what is our industry’s role in promoting a vision of an equal society? We believe it is huge. We believe we need to use our power as communicators and connectors to shift the way society sees and treats us."
“We need to examine the kind of womanhood our industry promotes and sells to the world.”

To me, she looks a lot like Kristen Stewart in these photos.
ITA with this. I wished they had gotten someone with real singing and acting talent. Lots of people on reddit suggested Emmy Rossum, and after watching a YouTube video of her singing on Conan, I agreed with them. Not to mention Emmy resembles Belle in a way. Especially her big brown eyes. Such a huge mistake of Disney to choose Emma. Her singing was cringeworthy and her acting was terrible. Luke Evans was fantastic and a brilliant singer. I also thought the actor for LeFou was perfect despite the politics behind it.
And I totally agree about Cinderella, I am in love with that movie and Lily James was perfectly cast as Ella. I heard Emma Watson was chosen for the role but dropped out to do B&B. And thank god she did, she would have RUINED it! she was even considered for La La Land, too! I can’t imagine how that movie would turn out if Robot Emma was singing auto tune the entire time. Smh.
I just rewatched Cinderella for the sixth time and every time I do, I fall in love it. The ballroom scene was magical and I cannot get over her dress and glass slippers. *Le sigh*

Her hair doesn’t go with that dress. Did her stylist take a day off? It looks like Emma just rolled out of bed, put on that dress in a hurry, and ran out the door.Attending the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 4, 2018 in Beverly Hills, California.
