英國(guó)女星艾瑪沃森冷漠面對(duì)裸照威脅

Actress Emma Watson has refused to be silenced by online trolls threatening to leak nude photos of her following her powerful speech on gender equality at the UN last week.

Watson’s plea for men to join the fight for equal rights for women has sparked a flood of pledges across the world, including from fellow celebrities and politicians.

"I hope we can all finally change laws and mentalities in order to establish what is nothing more than common sense," Watson posted on her Twitter account on Tuesday.

Watson, 24, who rose to fame as Hermione in the Harry Potter movies, gave her first major speech as a United Nations Women's Goodwill Ambassador in New York on Saturday, launching the "HeForShe" campaign to unite men and women for gender equality.

The initiative urges men to join the fight against violence and discrimination of women within days more than 70,000 men and boys had signed online pledges, according to the HeForShe online active map on the campaign's website.

The target is to mobilise one billion men and boys over 12 months with an online map showing exactly where men sign up.

However, Watson’s speech appears to have angered trolls on 4chan's b board who are now seeking retribution in the form of a smear campaign.

Setting up a countdown website that they have called EmmaYouAreNext, forum members have threatened to release nude photos of Watson.

They are also attempting to get #RIPEmmaWatson trending on Twitter and are posting photoshopped pictures of news sites suggesting that Watson has died.

The very basic Photoshopped photos they have produced already suggest that any nude photos would be similar crude fakes.

Earlier this month Ms Watson came to the defence of her friend Ms Lawrence after dozens of images showing the Hunger Games actress in various states of undress were leaked on 4Chan.

The actress tweeted : “Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy.

More than 100 celebrities were affected by the scandal last month after an unidentified hacker stole explicit images and videos from Apple's iCloud service.

Apple said it was "outraged" by the attack and encouraged users to update their accounts with a "strong" password and enable two-step verification.

As Watson’s campaign gained momentum, men from all walks of life pledged to "take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls".

British actor Simon Pegg, known recently for playing Scotty in the Star Trek movies, tweeted: "Husband to a wife, father to a daughter, son to a mother. You bet I'm on board," while singer Ellie Goulding tweeted: “Beautiful speech”.

Actress Kate Bosworth tweeted “powerful” while American actress Rashida Jones said: "The need for gender equality & the REAL meaning of feminism, beautifully articulated by @EmWatson: https://youtu.be/p-iFl4qhBsE #HeForShe"

British singer Kate Nash tweeted: "Hey @EmWatson I applaud & thank you… taking the pledge today. Let's do this. #HeForShe"

Organisers credited Watson's powerful speech for having such an impact and driving up numbers signing to the campaign.

"We are all very humbled by the numbers. I have to point out that Emma has been a very instrumental part ... her speech was so powerful," Elizabeth Nyamayaro, senior advisor to U.N. Women's executive director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Watson, who was appointed to the U.N. role in July, received a standing ovation as she called on men and women to reclaim feminism for the benefit of all.

She disclosed how she became a feminist after being told she was too "bossy" for wanting to direct a play aged eight.

"But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word," said Watson, who studied at Britain's Oxford University and Brown University in the United States.

"I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop."

So far Watson has dedicated her humanitarian efforts as a Goodwill Ambassador to promote the empowerment of young women.

She has visited Bangladesh and Zambia to promote girls' education, and has recently returned from Uruguay.

Mlambo-Ngcuka, a UN under-secretary general said the engagement of young people was critical to advance gender equality in the 21st century.

"I am convinced that Emma's intellect and passion will enable UN Women's messages to reach the hearts and minds of young people globally," she said in a statement.
女星艾瑪·沃森(Emma Watson)上周在聯(lián)合國(guó)發(fā)表一場(chǎng)關(guān)于性別平等的有力演說，隨后她表示拒絕對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)黑手泄露她的裸照這種威脅保持緘默。

沃森懇求男性加入為女性爭(zhēng)取權(quán)力平等的行動(dòng)當(dāng)中，她的請(qǐng)求在全世界引發(fā)了連鎖效應(yīng)，其他名人以及政要們紛紛作出承諾。

沃森于9月18日在推特上說：“我希望我們的努力最終可以改變法律和人們的心理，將性別平等作為一種常識(shí)確立下來。”

24歲的沃森因出演《哈利波特》系列電影中的赫敏而成名，9月21日她在紐約作為聯(lián)合國(guó)婦女親善大使發(fā)表她的第一次重要演說，發(fā)起了一場(chǎng)名為“HeForShe”(他為她)的運(yùn)動(dòng)，該運(yùn)動(dòng)旨在將認(rèn)同性別平等的男性和女性團(tuán)結(jié)起來。

根據(jù)HeForShe運(yùn)動(dòng)網(wǎng)站的在線活動(dòng)地圖顯示，自呼吁男性加入女性的反暴力和歧視運(yùn)動(dòng)以來，幾天之內(nèi)，超過七萬男性在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上簽署誓言。

此項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的目標(biāo)是在12個(gè)月時(shí)間內(nèi)動(dòng)員十億男性加入，網(wǎng)站上的在線地圖可以很清楚地顯示有哪些地方的男性已經(jīng)在網(wǎng)上簽字。

然而，沃森的演講顯然激怒了那些在4Chan網(wǎng)站論壇上發(fā)布明星裸照的網(wǎng)絡(luò)黑客，他們正預(yù)謀通過誹謗進(jìn)行報(bào)復(fù)。

他們創(chuàng)建一個(gè)名為“艾瑪下一個(gè)是你”的倒計(jì)時(shí)網(wǎng)站，裸照來源論壇上的成員威脅將會(huì)發(fā)布沃森的裸照。

這批黑客們還企圖以#RIPEmmaWatson為標(biāo)簽在推特上散布假新聞，并附上經(jīng)PS修改過的照片發(fā)布沃森已經(jīng)死亡的消息。

他們所制作的這些基礎(chǔ)水平的PS照片早已表明那些所謂裸照都是以差不多的拙劣方式偽造出來的。

9月初，沃森為她的朋友詹妮弗·勞倫斯(Lawrence)打抱不平，這位《饑餓游戲》(Hunger Games)的女主此前被人泄露了大量各種姿態(tài)的不雅照片，發(fā)布在4Chan論壇上。

艾瑪發(fā)推表示：“比起在社交媒體上侵犯女性的隱私，更令人感覺糟糕的是，看到接下來發(fā)布的那些缺乏同情心的評(píng)論。”

上個(gè)月，有匿名黑客從蘋果云端系統(tǒng)盜取了大量不雅照片和視頻，引發(fā)了一場(chǎng)牽連100多位名人的艷照丑聞。

蘋果方面表示對(duì)黑客攻擊“相當(dāng)憤怒”，并鼓勵(lì)用戶更新帳戶，設(shè)置更為強(qiáng)大的密碼和啟用兩步確認(rèn)程序。

隨著沃森發(fā)起的運(yùn)動(dòng)聲勢(shì)不斷壯大，各行各業(yè)的男性都宣誓“采取行動(dòng)反對(duì)以各種形式針對(duì)婦女的暴力和歧視現(xiàn)象。”

因近日在星球大戰(zhàn)系列電影中扮演斯科蒂(Scotty)而出名的英國(guó)男演員西蒙·佩吉(Simon Pegg)發(fā)推表示：“作為自己妻子的丈夫，自己女兒的父親還有母親的兒子。我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好行動(dòng)了。”與此同時(shí)歌手艾麗·高登(Ellie Goulding)在推特上稱贊:“說得好。”

在女星凱特·波茨沃斯(Kate Bosworth)在推特上“強(qiáng)力支持”的同時(shí)，美國(guó)女星拉什達(dá)·瓊斯(Rashida Jones)說道：“@EmWatson: https://youtu.be/p-iFl4qhBsE #HeForShe將性別平等的要求和女權(quán)主義的真正內(nèi)涵完美地結(jié)合在一起。”

英國(guó)歌手凱特·納什(Kate Nash)發(fā)表推文：“嗨@EmWatson，我為你喝彩并感謝你所做的……我今天許下自己的誓言。讓我們一起努力吧。#HeForShe”

該運(yùn)動(dòng)的組織者已經(jīng)肯定了沃森的有力演說影響如此之大，已經(jīng)發(fā)動(dòng)了相當(dāng)多的人加入。

“我們都被這個(gè)數(shù)字驚到了。我必須指出艾瑪在這其中發(fā)揮很大作用……她的演講是如此富有感染力，”聯(lián)合國(guó)婦女組織的執(zhí)行理事蘭博庫(kù)卡(Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka)的高級(jí)顧問Elizabeth Nyamayaro這樣告訴路透社。

沃森在七月的時(shí)候被任命為聯(lián)合國(guó)人物，她為所有人謀福祉，號(hào)召男性和女性重新認(rèn)識(shí)女權(quán)主義的行為贏得了眾人長(zhǎng)久起立為之鼓掌。

她還透露了自己是如何在八歲的時(shí)候因?yàn)橄雽?dǎo)演戲劇卻被指“專橫”而成為一個(gè)女權(quán)主義者的。

“但是我近來做的調(diào)查告訴我女權(quán)主義變成一個(gè)破不受歡迎的詞，”沃森說，她曾求學(xué)于英國(guó)牛津大學(xué)和美國(guó)布朗大學(xué)。

“我在六個(gè)月前得到任命，我越是談?wù)撆畽?quán)主義就越發(fā)意識(shí)到爭(zhēng)取婦女權(quán)力的斗爭(zhēng)總是被曲解成對(duì)男性的排斥。我知道我非常確定一件事情，那就是這種認(rèn)識(shí)必須停止。”

迄今為止，沃森作為婦女親善大使一直致力于提升年輕女性的地位的人道主義事業(yè)。

她曾到訪孟加拉國(guó)(Bangladesh)和贊比亞(Zambia)，幫助那里的女孩接受教育，最近她剛從烏拉圭(Uruguay)回來。

聯(lián)合國(guó)副秘書長(zhǎng)蘭博庫(kù)卡(Mlambo-Ngcuka)說年輕人的參與對(duì)于推動(dòng)21世紀(jì)的性別平等至關(guān)重要。

“我非常確信艾瑪?shù)牟胖呛蜔崆槟軌驅(qū)⒙?lián)合國(guó)婦女組織的信息傳遞至世界上所有年輕人的心靈和情感中。”她在一次聲明中這樣講道。
