    Diskriminácia Rómov na Slovensku? Lucia Kleštincová a Mikuláš Lakatoš z Volt Slovensko

    ➡️Diskriminácia prešla v posledných rokoch výraznou zmenou. Stala sa tak sofistikovanou, že sa skryla za svoje nepriame prejavy. ➡️Dostávajú Rómovia rovnakú zdravotnú starostlivosť ako ostatní a majú k nej aj rovnaký prístup?💜 ➡️V akom štádiu je na Slovensku inklúzia nielen rómskej menšiny a sme na to vôbec pripravení❓ 🇪🇺O tom, prečo je dôležité mať v demokratickom štáte politických zástupcov priamo z minorít, diskutovala líderka strany Volt Slovensko do volieb do Európskeho parlamentu Lucia Kleštincová s kandidátom strany Volt Slovensko č. 4 Mikuláš Lakatoš, ktorý svoju kariéru začal ako zdravotnícky pracovník a v strane Volt Slovensko sa venuje práve menšinám a otázkam zdravotníctva   💜 💜 Viac o Volt Slovensko: https://voltslovensko.org/ #Volt #VoltSlovensko #Volt24 #inkluzia #zdravotnictvo #slovensko #europa #moonshot

    Vymierame. Koľko detí splodiť? Fertilita vs. migrácia? | Lucia Kleštincová & Denisa Priadková | Volt

    Vymierame Tretí rok po sebe je počet narodených detí nižší ako úmrtnosť. Klesajúca pôrodnosť a starnúca populácia rapídne ovplyvní aj počet obyvateľov Slovenska. Pomôže tomu migrácia? V čom je príčina populačnej implózie a aké sú jej riešenia? Demografická kríza sa netýka iba Slovenska. Ekonomické postavenie žien, stúpajúci vek prvorodičiek a počet singles často prevyšujúci počet rodín s deťmi, sú prirodzenou zmenou vo vývoji rozvinutých krajín. Vieme mať svoju plodnosť pod kontrolou? Aké sú jej zdravotné úskalia? Čo na ňu negatívne vplýva bez toho, aby sme o tom vôbec vedeli? Lucia Kleštincová , vedúca kandidátka Volt Slovensko do eurovolieb vás pozýva vypočuť si nový diel nášho podcastu: Dnes s kandidátkou č. 5, Denisou Priadkovou, aktivistkou v oblasti reprodukčného zdravia, zakladateľkou in-fertility a projektu FerTeen (MEDZI NAMI).

Reach out if interested to COLLABORATE! ----------------------------- ESTELLE LOVI is an inspiring French-African artist and business consultant. After earning a degree from HEC Paris - top European Business School - and advancing to Regional Director, she felt unfulfilled by what was supposed to be a « dream job » and a « dream life ». In 2017, Lovi decided to quit her successful corporate career and launch her business.  A few months later, feeling confused and stuck, she took the biggest decision of her life: follow her intuition… unconditionally. The inner call was astonishing: take the stage. Little by little, Lovi discovered the Art of Heart-centered Creation that she now applies to artistic, business and life creation. Using her professional, personal and spiritual journey as a gateway to help others connect to their inner wisdom and achieve their highest dreams, she creates empowering, life-changing experiences combining art, pioneering teachings and consulting. -----------------    ABOUT LUCIA KLESTINCOVA  I am the stand for transformation of the EU via new culture of feminine leadership.
