"One photographer lay down on the floor to get a shot up my skirt ... The night it was legal for them to do it, they did it. I woke up the next day and felt completely violated by it all." And again in 2014, Emma said of the incident as she became the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in New York: "I’m a feminist because I’ve known sexism since I was eight years old."
