Childlessness in the Workplace

World Childless Week, 12-18 September 2022, is now approaching its 6th year of raising awareness and uniting the childless not by choice community together across the globe. By sharing our thoughts and stories we reached over 100 countries in 2021 and helped countless people know they are not alone.

Your submission can be written, sung, painted, danced or come in any other media that can be shared on the World Childless Week website. This is your chance to express yourself and share your story.

Every submission that is accepted will be posted on the World Childless Week website and social media platforms. On Monday 12th September we will be sharing Our Stories.

Have you been bombarded with mum talk during a Zoom chat, swamped with pregnancy announcements in emails, trapped in a maternity leave office party, expected to work late, denied flexi-time, fallen to the bottom of the list for holidays or just felt embarrassed to approach your line manager or personnel department because you are childless? Perhaps you’ve spoken out and instigated changes or helped to create inclusive policies? Have you run to the loo for sanity and to shed a few tears or decided enough is enough and spoken out for change?

Let’s talk about the problems we face and what we can do to create positive changes in the workplace.
