What you see here

This initiative has been a few years in the making. For some time, it was a semi-conceived side project that was completely different to what you see here, but it never went past the drawing board because as usual, life and COVID got in the way and priorities were elsewhere.

Then came a shift. In mid 2022, just as we were emerging from COVID to continue on with life like it never happened, the US Supreme Court overturned the judgement in the infamous Roe v Wade case. This news made global headlines and caused a lot of distress for many people. It’s almost unthinkable that in this day and age, a person in a supposedly free country is not permitted to make their own choices for their own body and life. Now, with the US administration’s ongoing removal of DEI protections for all, the inequality of wealth distribution, global increases to cost of living and the impacts of overpopulation and pollution, multitudes of people around the world are actively choosing against reproducing.

The designs on this site are an effort to bring to attention how societal expectations can be perceived by childfree people whilst maintaining some lighthearted elements. Nobody wants to fight here.

Given we’ve just launched, costs are a bit high. The website design is a work in progress and will likely go through a couple of changes. Once there’s some traffic the idea is to broaden options and lower costs. Linking up with likeminded people is also totally welcome! Admittedly though the social media accounts are pretty bare as this is still a side project that is managed between competing priorities (day job etc). Ultimately, the dream is to one day be in a position where certain procedures that might assist people who have decided not to have children can be funded, but maybe that’s a little way off for now. Gotta start somewhere…
