Harry Potter star Emma Watson has announced she will host a live question and answer session about gender equality for International Women’s Day.

The 24-year-old actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador posted a video on her Facebook page inviting people to take part in the HeForShe event which will be held in London on Sunday March 8.

Emma wrote: “If you’re in London and would like to be there in person, tell me how you are making a personal impact to advance gender equality.”

The event will also be streamed live on Facebook.

Emma spoke at the event last year about gender equality and declared herself a feminist.
