Reuters, citing academics and campaigners, said that during Xi Jinping’s decade in power, the proportion of Chinese women in politics and in key positions has declined, mostly in deputy or symbolic positions. Looking at the list of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China’s core leadership predicted by all walks of life, the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee at the top of the pyramid are all male as always, and the 25-member Politburo is expected to have only one female representative.
According to the gender gap index released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) every year, China’s ranking has dropped from 69 when Xi Jinping took office (2012) to 102; what’s more, the government has been increasing in recent years in the face of the population crisis. The publication emphasizes women’s traditional roles and values as mothers and caregivers, proposes new regulations such as “reducing non-medically necessary abortions” and divorce cooling-off periods, while suppressing calls for women’s rights such as the “#Metoo” movement, all of which are sexually stimulating. fears that the peace process is going backwards.

Thousands of people gathered outside the bar where the incident occurred on the 14th to mourn the victims and demand that the authorities take action against LGBT equality. Prime Minister Eduard Heger (Eduard Heger) and President Zuzana Caputova (Zuzana Caputova) attended a vigil.
“I’m sorry that our society cannot protect your loved ones,” Caputova said in a speech at the scene, holding a rainbow flag. However, among EU countries, Slovakia’s gender concept is relatively conservative, and same-sex marriage has not yet been legalized. There is even a lawmaker’s proposal from Heger’s political party to ban the flying of the rainbow flag in public buildings (but it did not pass).

Under the shadow of the Russian-Ukrainian war, European countries are facing an imminent energy crisis in winter. In recent years, a group of young sportsmen have appeared on the streets of Paris, shuttled between the high-end areas of the city with superhero-like “Parkour” movements.
