Childfree - Women's Rights or Being Selfish

Sparkle Mind

Being childfree or also called voluntary childlessness, is the voluntary choice not to have children. Childfree can also be defined as people or couples that choose the situation without a child. Childfree has become a trend since the early 2000, and it tends to refer to skeptical portrayals of parenthood in the media as new and modern phenomena. In this Sparkle Mind podcast episode, I want to talk about how I can end up paying attention to this kind of belief or sensational decision. Yet, childfree still sounds like a controversial lifestyle both from the society, human history perspective, and religion. When a woman decides to be childfree, there will be so many social consequences, pressure, and backlash from society, inner circle, and family due to this life choice. Most people consider it a selfish decision, but some believe that childfree by choice is a stigma breaker and is supposed to be a women’s right. This podcast is presented to ISPA (Isu Perempuan dan Anak) Competition in collaboration with @forumperempuanfmipa and @bemfmipaunsri. I’m so excited to share it with you, and I hope all of you can acquire a lot of insight and knowledge regarding childfree by choice. Happy listening 😊
