It is not a taboo to be childless, but society seems to have dubbed it so. Many childless individuals are stigmatised and drained by shame and stigma, which circumstances have thrust on them. There are many reproductive and excruciating challenges faced by individuals and couples that deter them from having biological children. Some amazing women, in different interactions, shared with me how their childlessness is not as a result of infertility or medical conditions.

Research has shown that childless women, particularly those who are involuntarily childless, may experience higher levels of psychological distress, anxiety, and depression. A study published in the journal,, found that women who are unable to have children may face emotional challenges and feelings of grief and loss.

While more research is needed to fully understand the challenges faced by childless women, these statistics and findings highlight some of the key issues that may impact their well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Addressing these challenges through awareness, advocacy, and support can help create a more inclusive and understanding society for all women, regardless of their reproductive choices.
