6 Min Read
(Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When Ivana Gaziova had an abortion as a teenager, she didn’t want to talk about it to anyone apart from her closest cousin. Six years on, a push to tighten Slovakia’s abortion law impelled her to speak out.
Gaziova, a waitress from Bratislava, has gone public with her own story to campaign against the government-led proposal, which critics see as part of a trend towards more socially conservative policies in central Europe.

The 38 million-euro plan aims to turn one in three streets in the densely populated residential and commercial area into green zones. ....

BARCELONA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A painting of a woman using an iPad, a vase depicting children dreaming of computers - both historical objects with a contemporary twist highlighting the world’s growing digital divide during the coronavirus pandemic.
The exhibition at Barcelona’s Analog Museum of Digital Inequality aims to show how this gap - laid bare by COVID-19 -disproportionately affects women and low-income and ethnic minority groups.
The so-called “digital divide” refers to the gap between those who have access to computers and the internet, and those with limited or no access.
About 54% of the global population used the internet last year, but less than a fifth of people in the least-developed countries were online, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency. ....
