Why women have much more autoimmune diseases
Our immune systems are remarkable. While we indulge in leisurely activities like consuming snacks on the couch, our immune systems diligently identify and eliminate pathogens and other foreign entities from our bodies. Additionally, they retain a memory of previous invaders, making it more challenging for them to re-enter our systems. Essentially, our immune systems act like proficient bouncers, safeguarding the bustling clubs that are our bodies—except when they don't. There are instances when the immune system erroneously perceives the body's own tissues as alien, leading to what immunologists term autoimmunity. At present, over 80 autoimmune conditions have been defined by medical professionals, ranging from well-known disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis to more uncommon ones. These conditions are often chronic, debilitating, and collectively contribute significantly to global mortality and disability. Estimates suggest that three to ten percent of individuals experience an autoimmune condition at some point.

Banaban Tradition of Frigate Bird Snaring / Taming
Today, the majority of the Banaban community resides on Rabi Island, Fiji, with only around 300 Banabans inhabiting their homeland in the Kiribati Islands group. The traditional Banaban ritual of te kabwane eitei, also known as frigate bird snaring, has been lost due to various factors. These include the introduction of Christianity in the late 1980s, the arrival of te I-Matang's (Europeans) in 1900 following the discovery of phosphate, and the forced removal of Banabans from their homeland by invading Japanese forces in 1943 during World War II.
