All of us are responsible for creating change, whatever industry you work in. We're asking everyone to help create a world we can be proud of - one that is safe, just and equal. Please join us and donate to the new Justice and Equality Fund, which will support frontline organisations that are working to end a culture where harassment and abuse are commonplace. Together we can spread our message, support the strong people of all genders who are taking such personal risks, and make sure that this is one of those watershed moments in history where things never go back to the way they were before. This is the moment we stand together and say. #TIMESUP. We hope you’ll stand with us.

In an Instagram video, Watson said it feels "good" to be bringing Time's Up to the UK.

"My big passion in all of this is to make sure it's a global movement. This is about women standing shoulder to shoulder, women and men, across all workplaces because we know that this is happening everywhere," she said.

"It just feels good to be bringing this home. We are a really important part of it, we are an integral part of it. And, we need to make sure our voices are uplifted and heard too, and that the positive changes that we've seen here in the States are also happening elsewhere in the industry," she said.
