Getting married, starting a family, children – topics that often trigger heated discussions. While parents often vouch for traditional values and security, young people have their own ideas.
Yoyo lives with her parents in Taipei. Her announcement that she plans to marry a woman comes as a shock to her parents. It’s a largely similar picture in Esraa’s home city Cairo. Her marriage has failed, but Esraa’s parents believe such a union should last forever. In many parts of the world, parents often get involved in their adult children’s family planning. Sometimes, this well-meaning support becomes a burden and ends up creating huge pressure.
