Celebrities Speak Out on Social Media About International Women's Day and the Women's Strike

Today is International Women's Day, but it's also the "Day Without a Woman" strike—a way for women to show resistance and highlight how valuable we are to the economy. Celebrities are showing their support for both IWD and the strike on social media—here are some of the best posts we've seen so far.

Emma Watson

What I’ve always wanted most is women and girls working together, and lifting each other up. There’s such a big world out there, and if you just take time to look outside of yourself, there is so much that can be done. In honor of International Women’s Day, I have a special announcement coming your way. Tune into my Instagram live at 6:15PM EST to hear more. #InternationalWomensDay #DoYou #girlstrong

Today is International Women's Day. There is an initiative to wear red, not to spend money, not to go to work, to do what you can to remind the world how essential women are. If you can't do any of these things, if your life prohibits you from doing so, don't. If you want to support the initiative in your own way, you can. If you don't care, then keep it moving. I'm done with overly simplistic comments from people who are looking to complain about celebrities and their privilege. I'm aware of my privilege and that doesn't make me care any less. Let's remember that a reality star born into wealth is now President. (Also, a man who bragged about sexually assaulting women) Some of you complaining voted for him. So there is a disconnect. In any event, women all over the world, including this country, are struggling for equality. I stand with them. #internationalwomensday
