Hey there!
In August 1973, the National Organization for Non-Parents (NON), later known as the National Alliance for Optional Parenthood (NAOP) celebrated Non-Parents Day on August 1st.
In 2013, Childfree expert Laura Carroll reinvented the name to “International Childfree Day” and, along with a group of volunteers, selected the first “Childfree Woman of the Year” and “Childfree Man of the Year”.
In 2023, the leadership team at Childfree Media Ltd. was given the opportunity to take the helm and guide the event into the future. Below is a special message from some global childfree content creators and activists wishing everyone a happy International Childfree Day!
Times Square Childfree Billboard
Are you in NYC today (August 1st)? If so, head to 1530 Broadway, New York City, and take your photo with the billboard celebrating International Childfree Day. Then, tag @childfreewealth on social media and use the hashtag #childfreeday!
International Childfree Day website
We recently debuted the new website for International Childfree Day! International Childfree Day has always been a way to celebrate and inspire those who have chosen not to have kids. This day is also a great way to introduce and inform those who are unaware of what “Childfree” means, whether or not they have kids. The website includes the history of this day, ways it’s being celebrated, and FAQs.
