Every generation has its social blind spots – injustices and inequalities that benefit the powerful to the expense of the have-nots. Often it’s difficult for those who follow to understand how the preceding one could not have known, let alone done something about it.

Zika, the mosquito-borne virus, has been declared an international health emergency by the WHO. The international agency reports tremendous healthcare costs waiting ahead as the virus travels across continents and countries, seemingly unstoppable. We can imagine the grown-up babies who are suffering from microcephaly – strongly linked with the Zika virus.

But even this tragedy may have a silver lining.Continue reading The Zika virus: is there a silver lining to our fear?
When Fu Yuanhui, the Chinese swimmer at the Rio Olympic Games, talked about her menstruation as a performance factor, she was the latest in a long line of celebrities playing a role in social and behavior change.

So how does this work?Continue reading 3 Things you might not know about working with celebrities on social issues

Plastics, especially plastic bags, have become an integral part of modern life.Continue reading How Indonesia can create a fantastic life without plastic

So, of course, Ramadhan also changes eating habits. Nielsen conducted research in Indonesia in 2011 and found that during Ramadhan, Indonesians behave the same way as people in UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
