By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree. Up to 45% will be single by choice. Society will frame this as a crisis. Governments will panic over birth rates. This is about choice though… It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

Many countries mark Refugee Weeks in June to celebrate refugees' stories and contributions. 🌍 June 20 | World Refugee Day This month, HIDDEN will share inspiring stories and important facts. Join us in standing with those forced to flee their homes. @costprogramme.bsky.social

June is Refugee Awareness Month. This month, we’re sharing stories that matter—like You Don't Know What War Is by Yeva Skalietska. At just 12 years old, Yeva fled war-torn Ukraine. Her diary is a raw, unforgettable account of survival and courage. @costprogramme.bsky.social
