Introducing the Theme for International Childfree Day 2023
And the latest in childfree events and podcasts episodes.
On August 1, 1973, National Alliance for Optional Parenthood, called the National Organization for Non-Parents (NON) at the time, celebrated “Non-Parents Day.” In 2013, childfree expert Laura Carroll resurrected the day, calling it “International Childfree Day” as an annual recognition of amazing childfree people and their lives.
Here’s Laura sharing the history at the 2021 Virtual Childfree Conference.
In 2023, we are honouring the trailblazing event of 1973 with a commemorative logo.
Stay tuned to this newsletter for more celebration updates and how to nominate your favourite Childfree Person of the Year and Childfree Group of the Year.

Set against the backdrop of an unprecedented global reproduction slowdown and taking in themes from intergenerational healing to feminism to environmentalism, this personal look and anthropological dig into a stubbornly taboo topic is a timely and radical reframing of everything it means not to be a mom. “The rising numbers of women without kids can be read as part empowerment, part self-preservation, and part birth-strike,” I write. “And whether we are childless by design or by circumstance, we can live without regret, shame, or self-doubt.”
-Ruby Warrington, author of Women Without Kids
