About Mexico and Cuba (2009):"Cancun was the weirdest place ever. In Cancun, I felt like I had walked into an American teen movie. I was only there for two days-thankfully my friends and I were more interested in travelling around other parts of the country. But I seriously thought it was only like that in movies. Cancun was certainly not my favourite. We went to Ixtapa, where the ruins are. It was a beautiful, chilled-out part of the country. We went to Mexico City, which was amazing, but quite dangerous. We were happy to get out of there in the end. And we went to Cuba-I would tell everyone to go to Cuba now, because in 10 years it will be completely different."

Emma Encourages Women’s Participation in Politics

UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson attended a meeting on Wednesday in Uruguay’s Parliament, speaking with top ministers, government officials and women’s rights activists on the importance of increasing women’s participation in politics.

“Women’s rights are personal to me, especially on political participation and leadership. I am delighted to be here today as a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women and learn about the work on the ground, hear from the people at the frontlines, and to understand what is working and what is not. I am here to support and to amplify these voices and share this work with a global audience. Women must have a say in matters that affect their countries, communities and families. After all, they are half of the population, so women’s equal participation in decision-making is a question of justice and democracy,” said Ms. Watson. “I have learned that it is also a question of priorities, as women are more likely to focus on issues such as education, health, unpaid care economy and the environment. These are important issues that affect all of us.”

    Excuse me, but do you know if Emma is really going to play in Colognia Dignidad with Foltian Gallenberger as director ? Thanks

      There is no official information. If reports of Emma visiting Villa Baviera (formerly Colognia Dignidad) with Gallenberger (listed as director for the movie) are true, it is reasonable to assume she is interested. Just speculation at this time though.

    Feminism is dividing genders. Males and females are not on the planet for division but growing together. Feminism leads to low birth-rates, high separation rates and instable relations. We are not different by education or society we are different by biology. We are different but equal of value. Stop dividing men and women, which you do with feminism.
