Childfree

The discussion about childfree is a discussion that is of interest to young people today, especially for women, the topic of childfree discussion was busy being discussed on many social media platforms after an influencer, Gita Savitri opened her voice through her Instagram account, she said the childfree decision was a mutual agreement that had been agreed upon discussed with her husband, Paul Andre. Quoted from the Oxford Dictionary, the word childfree means a condition where a husband and wife decide not to have children. Quoted from a book written by Siti Muslikhati entitled Feminism and Women’s Empowerment in Islamic Scales, Feminism is a movement that has the goal of realizing gender equality in other words, men and women must play an equal role both inside and outside the home.

Feminism created a movement by giving freedom to women, one of which is childfree, this decision can be used by women to make decisions whether they really want to become mothers, experience the process of pregnancy and childbirth. This view of child-freedom raises many pros and cons of whether this case can really be done and carried out, in fact, all decisions must have negative and positive sides related to the problem. Childfree is a big decision that can only be made with careful thought and comes from a mutual agreement between two people who are in a life (husband and wife).
