Shortly after Emma Watson met, posed with, and was blessed by Jennifer Lawrence at the Dior fashion show in Paris yesterday, the 24-year-old Harry Potter alum and Ivy League graduate announced an exciting new title for herself: U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. Watson trumpeted the news on Twitter yesterday to her 13.6 million followers, writing, “So excited to start work with the AMAZING people at UN Women! . . .Going to be working for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (!!!).”

Watson’s fans were apparently so excited by the announcement that they hastily crashed the U.N. Women’s Web site, prompting the organization to issue its own followup tweet: “The exciting announcement of @EmWatson’s appointment as our Goodwill Ambassador crashed our website! We apologize &hope to be back up soon.”

Now back up and running—phew—the site reveals that the burgeoning humanitarian will “dedicate her efforts as U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador towards the empowerment of young women and will serve as an advocate for U.N. Women’s HeForShe campaign in promoting gender equality.”

Watson offered her own more formal statements for a press release, revealing: “Women’s rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can’t imagine an opportunity more exciting. I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience, and awareness to this role.”

Watson is the latest in a long line of actors who have used their celebrity to draw attention to important issues. She follows the esteemed likes of Audrey Hepburn, Susan Sarandon, and Mia Farrow, who all served as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors.
