Women-only communities thrive in China

Demand for single-gender spaces, including bars, gyms and co-working hubs, is rising in China as women gain economic power and prioritise peace of mind and safety. Women-only community spaces in China offer a safe environment where women can freely discuss intimate matters, seek support and escape harassment. Economic independence and educational opportunities are enabling women to focus on their own needs, while social media, especially RedNote, has exposed many to alternative lifestyles and communities.
