Perfume is a luxury product worn by people all around the world, but fragrances are not without health risks. Perfumes use a mix of chemicals, some are natural, such as essential oils from plants, but many of them are synthetic, meaning they are created in a laboratory. The problem is that the perfume industry is not very transparent about what goes into their products. They can hide hundreds of ingredients under the vague term "fragrance", without disclosing them to the consumers or the regulators. This means that we don't really know what we're spraying on our skin, clothes, and hair and some can be irritating and cause allergies. Even high quality famous brands can contribute to allergies which affect between 5 and 25 million people in Europe.Which brands? How is this possible?

Today marks the first day of Ramadan. Muslims around the world have begun a month-long fasting period, with fasting being one of the five pillars of Islam. During Ramadan, Muslims strive for spiritual growth by purifying both body and mind. That means abstaining from food and water during daylight hours, reciting the Quran, and saying special prayers. It's a period of mutual support, where acts of violence and deceit are strictly forbidden.Even if you’re not a Muslim yourself, in the past you may well have witnessed your Muslim neighbours or friends setting up tables in the street as night falls, in order to break their fast by dining outdoors. Of course, with Ramadan starting in March this year, temperatures are pretty low and you may not see such scenes at all. Are you saying the start of Ramadan hinges on moon sightings? Does that mean Ramadan doesn’t start on the same date in every country then?

You might not be familiar with the term ‘kinkeeping’, but the chances are you’ve benefited from it at some point in your life, in particular as a child but also in adulthood if you’re a man. It refers to the household or family tasks that are subconsciously assigned to women due to their gender.Of course, it’s pretty much equivalent to unpaid labour, and a lot of the time is taken for granted, going without any credit or even thanks. American sociologist Carolyn J. Rosenthal coined the term in 1985, in an article entitled Kinkeeping in the familial division of labor. She observed that the role of kinkeeper was often passed down from mother to daughter in nuclear families. The only study on the subject to date was carried out in 1996, and showed that 85% of kinkeepers were women aged from 40 to 69.Why are people talking about kinkeeping now? What are the negative consequences of kinkeeping?

According to a World Bank report from March 2023, the global pace of reforms toward equal treatment of women under the law has slumped to a 20-year low. This decline constitutes a potential impediment to economic growth at a critical time for the global economy. Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021, women’s rights have been systematically curtailed. From March 2022, it became the only country in the world where women have no access to secondary school or university. Similarly, to promote their vision of virtue, gymnasiums have been closed. A number of NGOs have repeatedly alerted international institutions to the fact that women can no longer work with them because of non-compliance with the country's compulsory dress code.Is the problem the same in the West? How can we combat the decline in women's rights in Europe?
