Harry Styles shows support for Emma Watson's gender equality drive

One Direction star Harry Styles has given his support to a new gender equality project headed by Emma Watson.

The Harry Potter star recently gave a speech at the United Nations in New York about feminism in her role as their Goodwill Ambassador.

She spoke about their He For She campaign, which encourages men to fight in the female equality battle too.

On Thursday (September 25) Styles took to Twitter to lend his weight to the campaign.

He said alongside a photo of himself holding up a '#HeForShe' sign: "I'm supporting @UN_Women and @EmWatson in #HeForShe As should you.."

Demi Lovato meanwhile also reached out on Twitter this week to support Watson, saying:

"I admire and look up to @EmWatson so much. I hope I get to meet her someday."
