  1. Well, I think this is a good speech that tells things like they really are. Emma Watson tells us about situations in her life that have made her think the way she does. She gives us good examples to convince that gender inequality exists in all countries all over the world and we are not changing it.

    I think men and women nowadays have no equal rights. It's really sad but it's also true. But if this thing happens is because we let it be like that. This kind of campaigns like HeForShe can help us to open our eyes and see things clearly. We should all be more feminist and try to achieve that women and men have the equal rights. That's how it must be.

    1. Excellent Pablo! Try to avoid "the" in plural: "...men have equal rights." when it is something general.

  2. This video is very interesting content.
    Things that Emma talk are current and social. It is a problem that not only affects a country, we are united to him.

    I had never thought that the word feminist had another meaning. Emma sees another meaning in it and that makes me reconsider. Certain roles have been learning in our society and as Watson says we are all united but nothing will change.

    As a woman I would like to arrive to change the mindset of society and to open his eyes to come to understand as Emma Watson.

  3. I think this campaign is a good idea because the world needs some feminist movements like this. I'm very proud of Emma Watson because she will get our objectives with her fama, and if all the famous people or most of they would have done it we will get the equality in the world.
    I agree with her because this task is our responsability. If the we don't do it, nobody will do it. Women are like men and we should have the same rights. For this reason i think thta we should be treated as men in all the cultures,works,countries and in all the things.
    I hope we will get it in the future.

  5. I think is a good idea this type of campaigns, because gender equality is a world issue.

    I don't like see people women leaves school because this family forces to married or men thinking that they are better than women, because all are equal. Everybody can work in any job and earn the same money with independence their gender. I like see famous people like Emma Watson care with world problems and we need work together for combat this problem.

    I would like to see in the future, a world where people don't worry about their gender.

  6. In this video I've listened some thing about Emma's past that freeze my blood. However she talks about campaings that people make to try to prevent these social differences.

    In my opinion eveyone has to open their mind and think that anyone is no one to deprive someone from their rights. Furthermore, I think it's so cool to have famous people who are interested in helping to another people in this kind of problems like Emma.
    We all know that unfortunately we have some differences with the genders but i hope that in someday we will get our purpose make this world a better one.

    (I hope it'll be okey because I have tried to publish 4 and all get error!!)

  7. This video is made to encourage people to think about the gender differences that we live now.

    In my opinion, I understand that some Asian and African cultures do not have gender equality, because they are so traditional and they do not want to change their lives, but in Europe for example, i think that there is more equality, but not the desired equality.
    This famous people are very influential in the society, and if they do this, I think that we will change.

  8. In the video I just saw gender differences appear. Emma speaks of the equality of male and female.

    In my opinion I think in Europe if there is gender equality. I think that over the years have changed and these differences have gone better. I also think that in Africa have their own culture and they do not want change. In short I believe if we so over time these small differences may disappear. If we changed so far will continue to advance.

  9. This video is very interesting, because it's about gender differences that we can find daily in our society, and really it affects our lives.The social differences are a serious problem that have this society now, but i think that if we contribute a little, we would be ablo to solve this problem.

    In the video the famous actress Emma Watson, talks about campaing that try to resolve the gender equality. The actress mention the problems that she has had to endure in her live. I think that we must try to evolve and change our thinking way, because we are in the 21th century, and this is one of the most important problems that we must resolve.

    In my opinion, this campaign is a good idea because, the social differences are evident, and this is stupid because both men and woman are equal.

  10. At the begining of the video I was bored. But while I was listening (and reading) the speech, Emma attract my attention, especially when she says that the most common type of death in males is suicide( because men are fragil). Also is good when she speaks about free men and free women, awesome advice. Finally, I think that the most important sentence in all text is : If not me , who? If not now, when? Fantastic phrase applicable to lot of things.

    Emma has persuaded me, and I think is a good idea make aware young people of this issue.

  11. I don't have words to discribe how I feel after I listen Emma Watson's speech.

    In my opinion this is one of the most important issues in the world that affects men and women equally. Nowadays there are an uncountable number of people who thinks that feminism it's an anti-men movement, but the really truth is that feminism only search the way men and women would have the same rights and possibilities.
    However there isn't any country at the moment, where if you are a woman you would have the same oportunities, the same value and the same rights as a man. This is a sad true.

    I believe that if everybody worked hard and together, we could change this issue in the future. And then help those milions people, who are suffering the gender discrimination, to feel equal to the others .
