LONDON: Hollywood actress Emma Watson who has always been a champion for the fight against gender based discrimination recently donated over 1.4 million dollars to Britain’s Justice and Equality Fund to aid an anti-harassment campaign.
The Justice and Equality Fund is a joint initiative by around 200 women in the country’s entertainment industry and various activists in order to further the fight against sexual harassment and abuse in all fields of life.
On Monday, Watson posted this on her Twitter handle, “Time’s Up! It’s Time’s Up to sexual harassment, bullying, abuse and the lack of representation and equality.”
