Emily has spoken out about double standards that women face quite often. In February of last year she wrote a Lenny Letter about being sexualized at a young age and has spoken out against a photographer who used nude photos of her without her consent.

Melania responded to the support by tweeting “Applause to all women around the world who speak up, stand up and support other women!”
