On Oct. 28, 2012, Savita Halappanavar died in University Hospital Galway, Ireland, due to complications of a septic miscarriage after being denied an abortion. 

Her death — which an inquest ruled was caused by "medical misadventure" — was the catalyst for Ireland's historic abortion referendum. 

Six years on from Savita's preventable death, Emma Watson has penned a moving open letter to the 31-year-old woman. 

It was a great honour to be asked by @PORTERmagazine to pay the deepest respect to the legacy of Dr Savita Halappanavar, whose death powered the determination of activists to change Irish abortion laws & fight for reproductive justice all over the worldhttps://t.co/KZWRpp7btO pic.twitter.com/yLDXgcHKyh
