Emma Watson is calling on her fans to celebrate International Women's Day with her.

The UN Women Goodwill Ambassador uploaded a video of herself to Facebook asking for fans to send her reasons why they should attend a live Q&A that she is conducting in London on March 8.

"I am going to be conducting a live Q&A in London answering your questions about gender equality," she told fans.

Watson, 24, said that should they want to attend, they must tell her "how you are advancing gender equality or about how gender inequality has affected your life”.

She finished: "Thank you so much for all your support and participation so far. It's been absolutely amazing and just an amazing adventure, journey, experience for me. So thank you, thank you. You guys really are awesome."

The former Harry Potter star gave a powerful speech at the United Nations in September when she launched the #HeforShe campaign - which has garnered support from fellow celebrities including Russell Crowe and Tom Hiddleston.
