Russia Bans Child-Free Propaganda, Introduces 'Ministry of Sex' to Boost Population
Nov 12, 2024, 07:44 AM
Russian lawmakers have passed a bill in the State Duma to ban the promotion of child-free lifestyles, aiming to address the country's demographic decline. The legislation, which has been framed as a rejection of Western liberal values by President Vladimir Putin, prohibits public content that promotes not having children. This initiative comes as part of broader efforts by Russian officials to reverse the population decline, including the introduction of a 'Ministry of Sex' to boost population growth with measures like paid dates and honeymoon funds. The bill now awaits approval from the Federation Council, Russia's upper house of parliament. Exemptions have been made for religious figures, allowing them to discuss child-free lifestyles if they can prove divine inspiration.
