"My dad says I can't be a engineer 'cause it's a "men profession" what do I do to change that?" asked the Harry Potter fan.

"Became an engineer," the actress wrote.

During her speech in Davos, Emma said she has been overwhelmed with the response she has received since launching the HeForShe campaign in September.

"I've been stunned by the amount of men in my life that have contacted me since my speech to tell me to keep going, and that they want to make sure that their daughters will still be alive to see a world where women have power and equality, economically and politically," she said.

"I've had my breath taken away when a fan told me since watching my speech she has stopped herself being beaten up by her father. We are tapping into what the world wants: to be a part of change. Now we have to channel that energy into purposeful action."
