What's the story

Standing up for a noble cause, Emma Watson has donated a million pounds to support the victims of sexual abuse. The donation by the actress was made under a fund called 'Go Fund Me' which aims to make the lives of such victims better. She was reported to be worth 39 million pounds in the Sunday Times Rich List in 2017.

Emma appealed others to donate a sum as well

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.
