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

"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.
