Womxn Without Children: A New Legacy

  • Wheeler Hall Auditorium, University of California, Berkeley 2495 Bancroft Way Berkeley, CA, 94704 United States (map)

Have you been asked why you don’t have children or when you’re going to have children? These questions come from family, friends and strangers. Being childfree whether by choice or not can be isolating and carries sometimes unfamiliar and often unacceptable emotions. How has being childfree shaped your identity and how have you navigated expectations of others? How does being LGBTQ+ impact being childfree? Childfree living should be honored instead of questioned. This session for those who do not have children to come together and share the challenges and benefits of being childfree.
