BNO News on Twitter: "South Korea's fertility rate, already the lowest in the world, dropped by another 8 percent in 2023.
New data shows the fertility rate dropped to 0.72, far below the 2.1 needed to maintain the population."
I made a post a while ago about the 4B movement in South Korea and how and why it pertains to the liberation and freedoms of Korean women. The tiktok video I shared a while ago gives background and context to Korean Feminism and current struggles that Korean women still face in their country. If you have the time to look at this as well, I highly recommend watching this video:
I am always in solidarity with Korean women, and I truly hope for real, systemic changes soon. Korean women deserve to always feel safe and protected -to always have the same access to opportunities and more.

Lesbians have been stepping up to the plate in terms of LGBTQ+ activism for decades. So, we figured we’d shine a light on some of the times when activists went above and beyond for the greater good of the community. From throwing the first punch at Stonewall to paving the way for gender equality in sports, lesbians have continuously proved they’re unstoppable. Caring for gay men at the height of the AIDS epidemic
It’s been said that being a lesbian amid the AIDS crisis was complex. Some felt ostracised by gay men who believed they were the only ones who should lead the fight. Others felt criticized by fellow lesbians for “abandoning” queer women’s issues. But, that didn’t stop lesbians from caring for countless men living with HIV. Despite facing burnout, grief, and discrimination of their own, lesbians cared for those who were unwell when doctors were too afraid to, which is often forgotten and erased in discussions about LGBTQ+ history. (Read more at link)
FYI, it's set up like a slideshow but you can click to view it all on one page. Anyway, nice to see lesbian positivity. Happy Pride!

this couple had to go through some kind of procedure that "doesn't leave the fetus intact" when their baby was diagnosed with anencephaly (missing a major part of her brain, meaning she would be stillborn or die very quickly after birth) - meaning they couldn't hold her before saying goodbye, which they'd have been able to if the mother had been able to have an abortion in her state. they didn't get to even see her face. fuck your "pro-life" bullshit.

It is Women’s History Month and the world is bursting with proclamations of support for gender equality and women’s rights. But too often, the general narrative celebrating historical progress on gender issues leaves out abortion and contraception, sidelining the fact that without them, gender equality would have been – and still is – impossible.
Banchiamlack Dessalegn in Aljazeera. Gender equality isn’t possible without abortion and contraception
Access to reproductive health protects women and girls, uplifts them and allows them to prosper.

Striving for Equality: Navigating the Landscape of Gender Equity
Tumblr media
We define gender equity as the fair treatment of women and men according to their respective needs. This may include equal treatment, or it may include treatment that is different but considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations, and opportunities. Two guiding principles are at the core of gender equity: fairness and impartiality. Fairness has to do with just treatment without favoritism or prejudice, while impartiality is defined as treating all parties equally. Equity, in its simplest terms, means meeting communities where they are and allocating resources and opportunities as needed to create equal outcomes for all community members (find out more about the differences between equity and equality here). Gender equality does not mean that women and men will be treated the same; it means that women and men’s rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not be based upon their gender. Gender Equality may involve the use of temporary special measures to compensate for historical or systematic bias or discrimination. It refers to differential treatment that is fair and positively addresses a bias or disadvantage that is due to gender roles or norms or differences between the sexes.
Gender equity is important improves opportunities for all and allows people to pursue their dreams despite gender. By promoting gender equity, we can create a society that is inclusive and diverse, where everyone has an equal chance to succeed. Gender equity ensures that everyone is treated fairly and with respect, regardless of their gender identity. It helps to break down gender stereotypes and biases, which can limit people’s potential and prevent them fro achieving their goals.  Below are some several benefits of gender equity.
Work places a work environment that welcomes diversity of thought and is free from inequities improves life satisfaction for women and men.
Health care related to gender equity, because of the medical profession has favored the male anatomy in research and education.  Yet to this day, doctors are more likely to dismiss a woman’s physical pain as being mental, emotional or even suggest that the patient is a hypochondriac. 
Another crucial aspect where gender equity plays a significant role is in healthcare. Historically, medical research and have predominantly focused on the male anatomy, often neglecting the unique health needs and experiences of women. This bias has resulted in the women’s physical pain being dismissed or attributed to psychological factors, leading to delayed or inadequate medical treatment. By promoting gender equity in health care, medical professionals can address. These disparities and ensure that women receive the same level of care attention as men. This involves recognizing and addressing gender-based biases, providing comprehensive and gender sensitive healthcare services, and empowering women to make informed decisions about their own health. Women and men alike benefit from such inclusive workplaces, as they can freely express their ideas, contribute to decision making processes, and have equal access to career advancement opportunities. This not only job satisfaction but also promotes overall life satisfaction foe individuals, as they are able to pursue their professional aspirations without being hindered by gender based or discrimination.
Here are some examples of Gender Equity:
Economic independence
Freedom of clothing
Creation of job training programs for women in vulnerable situations
Implementation of educational programs for women, with an emphasis on an area where there is a gender gap, such as entrepreneurship, finance or technology
Eliminating gender stereotypes in advertising
Paternity leave, which allows parents to accompany their partners when they have had a baby
Legal protection and political voice
The right to vote of both sexes
Same job opportunities
