Changing the way the world sees childfree people, and how we see ourselves.

We are Childfree is a global storytelling platform celebrating the lives of people without children, through portraits, podcasts and real stories from around the world.

PORTRAITS

“At some point, I was just like: fuck it, I am different.”

Cressida, Berlin

“I never felt like growing a baby inside of me.”

Ada, Berlin

“If there is something I regret, it is the fact that for so many years, I just didn’t know who I was.”

“I’m really, really living for the first time.”
