Emma Watson wrote an open letter to Savita Halappanavar



From the Independent:
Actress Emma Watson has penned an open letter to the late Savita Halappanavar. 
The Harry Potter star and human rights activist wrote the letter to Savita, whose death from a septic miscarriage was significant in bringing about the referendum on the Eighth Amendment in May. 
Watson has always been a strong voice for women’s rights. As a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she has been actively engaged in the HeForShe movement since 2014.

The letter appears in the annual Incredible Women list issue of Porter magazine (Winter 2018).

but emma continues being ambassador of heforshe? I want to say that for a long time she has not attended events about heforshe, she does things about feminism, but she does not spend time with the UN

Have you considered the fact that she can work remotely for UN and she's not bound to be in an office of UN or attend UN events??

She's still a UN Goodwill Ambassador, but I think she only had a one or two-year contract with HeForShe.

I know she's likely still with the UN, posts by UN Women still refer to her as an Ambassador

HeforShe pays good money from donations who is going to give that gig up?

Nice try. Emma wasn't paid though.

So she pays all expenses, appearance fees herself? Nice try though.
