“They say that being childfree is very selfish. Loving yourself is a bad thing in their mentality.”

Ruslan, 36, Kyrgyzstan

I’m 36 years old and live in a poor Muslim country, where men have to have a family and children.

I feel a lot of pressure for being childfree. I am afraid to say that because I am afraid of the consequences.

They say that only Europeans care only about themselves and don’t care about others. That being childfree is very selfish. That we have to live a life we sacrifice us for children.

Loving yourself is a bad thing in their mentality.
