“Should I stay or should I go?” — The freedom to leave [ENG]
Are you dreading a painful divorce? Feeling stuck in a job that leaves you unfulfilled? Have you lost your faith but feel unable to leave your religious community? These are all situations that point to a fundamental right: the freedom to leave. Walking away is rarely easy. People face all kinds of barriers – financial, social, emotional. This talk explores why leaving can be so difficult and how we can meaningfully guarantee the freedom to leave. The answer is simple but powerful: exit shouldn’t just be possible – it should be fair.
