World Childless Week Advocates

World Childless Week Advocates are organisations that are proactively raising awareness of World Childless Week in the workplace. They are making positive changes to ensure the childless feel seen and represented in day to day matters and policies. Advocates recognise and understand the importance of equality and diversity for all.

Thank you for choosing to support your childless not by choice colleagues and becoming a World Childless Week Advocate.

Around 1 in 5 women and 1 in 4 men are childless not by choice with the majority being childless due to life circumstances outside of their control. This can lead to a profound grief which is often not recognised in the workplace or society as a whole. When childlessness and the unique challenges associated with this are not acknowledged, colleagues can feel isolated, excluded and invisible. This significantly impacts on wellbeing, engagement and their sense of belonging.

By recognising and supporting people who are childless not by choice, organisations help create cultures built on empathy, connection and inclusion. A workplace where people feel seen is a workplace where people thrive.

Becoming a World Childless Week Advocate is a commitment to acknowledging this overlooked experience and ensuring that colleagues do not need to navigate this alone.
