The ability of South East #Asian nations to develop #antifragility will be reliant not only on their policy and societal response, but also by their ability to capitalise on and fully back women and the next generation as they pioneer change.

18.01.2022 On the #NewCaledonia independence #referendum The first referendum in 2018 saw a voter turnout that was much higher than expected.
