Poo called for "a joint effort" to achieve "decent work for all."

For her part, Michelle Williams made an appearance with Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement.

While Laura Dern opted for the lawyer Mónica Ramírez, co-founder of the National Alliance of Peasants.

"Our members knew the stories that are coming out of Hollywood and they wanted to send the message that the victims are not alone and we send them all our strength, we fight for equality at all levels, each voice must be heard," said Ramírez.

And Emma Watson appeared alongside Marai Larasi, executive director of Imkaan, a group defending the rights of black women, and co-chair of End Violence Against Women Coalition.
