Emma Watson has tweeted an inspiring message to people voting in Ireland’s historic abortion referendum.

On May 25, Irish people cast their votes to decide whether the country’s 8th amendment—which currently makes abortion illegal in almost all circumstances—should be repealed.

“A vote for the freedom to choose, a vote for women’s rights, a vote for women’s control over their bodies, a vote for women’s health and safety, a vote towards equality,” wrote Watson on Twitter.
