US EditionWomen-only Communities Flourish in China
Women-only co-living spaces in China provide safe environments for over 120 members to escape harassment and social pressures, fostering mutual support and mental well-being.
- Amid rising economic independence, demand for women-only co-living spaces in Zhejiang province, eastern China, has grown, with rural cottages offering safe, social environments for women.
