Emma attended an event in Oxford yesterday! She interviewed Dr. Denis Mukwege for the How To: Academy and The New York Times, and introduced him on her Instagram account as a brilliant colleague and collaborator on the G7 Gender Equality Council.
Our gallery has been updated with images of yesterday’s event, shared by Emma herself, as well as various images from social media of events she attended in the past week, most of them in Paris, France.
“Taking action means saying ‘no’ to indifference. If there is a war to be waged, it is the war against the indifference which is eating away at our societies.” – @drdenismukwege

Dr. Denis Mukwege has been a brilliant colleague and collaborator on the @g7 Gender Equality Council in Paris. 💫 To borrow praise from a mutual friend, Eve Ensler, Dr. Mukwege is truly ‘a beacon for all men to follow.’ The Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of Panzi Hospital is so inspiring to me as a doctor, activist, and male ally in the fight against gender-based violence.✊🏾🧡

It was so fun interviewing him in my home city as part of @how.to.academy & @nytimes ‘How to Understand Our Times.’ Thank you for sharing your learnings and lifetime of work with us and declaring what feminists across the gender spectrum know to be true: “Rape is not just a physical, violent act perpetrated against one victim, it is an assault on humanity.” 🌻💛

Emma attended a Gender Equality Conference in Paris, France, yesterday! Our gallery has been updated with images of the event. Thanks to EW Thailand, we also have a video of her speech, which you can watch below.
Today is Emma’s 29th Birthday! Although she still looks like the teenager we constantly looked up to growing up, she’s become such an inspirational grown up. It’s been a joy to see all that she’s achieved year after year, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead.
Emma, we are so very proud of you. We wish you the best that life has to offer, as we have no doubt you’ll continue to give back to the world in the most generous ways you can. Thank you for leading by example, and for being the beautiful, kind, intelligent and entertaining woman that you are. Happy Birthday! ♥️
Make sure you send her your wishes on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram!
Our gallery has been updated with screen captures of Emma’s interviews from 2007! In this year, she promoted “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Ballet Shoes”, a TV movie based on a classic novel by Noel Streatfeild’s, published in 1936 with the same title. Most of you have probably watched the 5th Harry Potter movie, but if you haven’t watched “Ballet shoes” yet, you should! It’s very sweet to see Emma’s first acting footsteps outside of Hermione, and the adaptation is very sweet.
With these screen captures we can finally see a quality improvement in comparison to previous years! We are slowly leaving the potato quality behind, just a few years to go now (I think!).
