Postponing childbirth reduces the possibility of expanding the family

Education and empowerment of young people to make informed decisions about reproductive health and parenthood is the goal of the campaign 'For More Hearts', implemented by the Ministry without portfolio in charge of gender equality and prevention of violence against women. The campaign is primarily intended for final-year high school students, university students, and young people up to 30 years of age, with a special segment reserved for the business community. Our idea is to approach young people and talk about how the body works, what affects fertility and how to preserve it, so as to avoid reaching an age where medical intervention or in vitro fertilization is already necessary. Through an educational approach, we will talk about how the long-term postponement of parenthood can negatively affect the possibility of having children at all, says Tatjana Macura, the minister in charge of gender equality and prevention of violence against women, for the newspaper 'Politika'.

"Fragile" at the House of Legacies

The painting exhibition "Fragile" by Ivica Aranđus has opened at the Gallery of the House of Legacies on Knez Mihailova Street. With a retrospective exhibition comprising seventy large-format oil-on-canvas works, the Montenegrin artist Aranđus, described by art critic Maja Živanović as a painter of conscience and simulacra of today, is being presented to the Belgrade public for the first time. She explains that he exposes society, religion, the fall of morality, and the lack of mercy in his works. Through an atypical oeuvre dominated by the antipodes of light and darkness, beauty and brutality, fragility and strength, the author reminds us that the role of art is to break down prejudices, and the role of the artist is to leave a critical mark on the time in which his works were created.
