What better way to celebrate Women Crush Wednesday than with two of our favourite women: Emma Watson and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.

Watson recently posted some pictures from her visit to Canada back in September, praising the Prime Minister’s wife for her hospitality and showing off some of their silly antics.

“Definitely a highlight of my year was meeting this person,” she says in a Facebook post.

“Who picks you up on a Vespa before your meetings to personally show you why she loves her city and her country? It was one of the most free and inspiring mornings I have had all year – not what I expected from someone who is as busy as she must be. She’s a yogi, feminist, artist, advocate, mother, warrior and all round gold hearted person. What a privilege it is to have met her.”

As a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, the “Harry Potter” star was in town last month to help raise awareness about gender equality and the challenges faced by women and girls around the world.

“Meeting with young girls, who like many in their country are struggling with poverty and were pressured into early marriage, depriving them of their education in the process, made me realize how important it is for women to be able to make their own choices,” she said during a recent trip to Malawi.

“It’s so encouraging to see how such a harmful practice can be stopped when communities work together to pass laws and turn those laws into reality.”

The star shared the images and details of her time in Canada to help celebrate International Day of the Girl, which was on Tuesday, as well as Grégoire Trudeau joining Facebook.

“Bonjour! I’m looking forward to being able to see your adventures and especially witness the work you do on behalf of women and girls.”
