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.
