Emma Watson is known for her strong political stances, particularly when it comes to feminism and the issue of gender inequality in the world of film. The actress, who is best known for her role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, has previously donated £1 million to the cause and has promoted the Time's Up movement across her social media accounts, with the star imploring her followers to sign the solidarity letter.

“The clock’s been ticking on the abuse of power. I stand in solidarity with women across every industry to say #TIMESUP on abuse, harassment, and assault. #TIMESUP on oppression and marginalization. #TIMESUP on misrepresentation and underrepresentation,” she wrote.

Watson joined an army of more than 300 women across the entertainment industry to support the movement, with other donations coming from the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Shonda Rhimes, Natalie Portman, Eva Longoria and Ashley Judd.

A letter from the group read: “We particularly want to lift up the voices, power and strength of women working in low-wage industries where the lack of financial stability makes them vulnerable to high rates of gender-based violence and exploitation.

“The struggle for women to break in, to rise up the ranks and to simply be heard and acknowledged in male-dominated workplaces must end; time’s up on this impenetrable monopoly,” said the letter.

The movement saw actors and actresses wear black at this year's Golden Globes and BAFTA awards and, at yesterday's Oscars, Watson could be seen carrying on the fight through her appearance.

Taking to the red carpet for the Vanity Affair after-party, the 27-year-old actress stunned photographers in a black dress and prominent neckpiece. However, while Watson's outfit undoubtedly grabbed the attention of the photographers, it was her new "tattoo" that set chins wagging.

While posing for photos on the carpet, the words "Times Up" could be seen on her forearm. The tattoo is more than likely a temporary fixture on the actress, but she still managed to turn heads with her ink and ignite the discussion around gender-equality once more.

For many people, this year's Oscar was particularly important due to the fact that they were the first Academy Awards since the New York Times expose on Harvey Weinstein. Regardless of the fact that the issue didn't get anywhere near the same amount of coverage as it did in the Golden Globes, there were some positive moments - chiefly the official Time's Up montage which celebrated to accomplishments of women, and called for more roles in front and behind of the camera for people that have been shunted to the sidelines.

Undoubtedly, given the way things seem to go these days, some people will loathe her tattoo while others will love it. Still, whether you like the actress or not, she is trying to push a subject that still needs to be discussed and challenged - despite all the recent press it has received.
