She made a plea for "justice" for women who have had their voices silenced.
She said: "I feel moved to speak for women's voices who have been stifled. I am one of those women, women who have been gagged, both literally and emotionally, women who have been abused, women who have been intimidated, women who have lived in fear.

Lindsay Lohan and Ashlee Simpson also made appearances on stage at the event.
