In Dikson, a settlement in the Arctic Circle in Siberia, Russia, a female polar bear with her tongue stuck in a can and therefore unable to eat appeared a few days ago.

Take the hospital to court.
This first “single woman egg freezing case” in China has attracted attention from all walks of life. The first-instance judgment was released on the 22nd. The court ruled that Xu Zaozao lost the case, but she has indicated that she will appeal again, and she will not stop paying attention to the reproductive rights of single women. Last year’s documentary “Fellow People”, which was screened at the Taiwan International Women’s Film Festival, presented the mental journey of three Chinese women including Zao Zao in their struggle for “my womb I am the master”.
