‘My mum can’t come here even though I’m here. It's heartbreaking.’ UK-based Ukrainian student lana_kozak_ speaks to JessCreighton1 about trying to be reunited with her mother who is in Ukraine:

You might be forgiven for thinking that the females of most animal species are passive, maternal and monogamous – because that’s been the long-standing scientific consensus. But now the zoologist and broadcaster Lucy Cooke wants to expose the stereotypes and bias that lie beneath our common understanding of how the sexes work in the wild.

Furniture poverty is when someone is unable to afford or access essential items. including white goods, beds, and carpets and curtains.

These figures are expected to have risen during the pandemic, and expected to rise further with the cost of living crisis - with soaring inflation and household bills.
