BirthStrikers: meet the women who refuse to have children until climate change ends

by | Aug 30, 2023 | News

Should we be focusing on how to teach a younger generation how to invent and innovate solutions to climate change, rather than avoiding it through impoverishing their own lives?
Should the personal be politicised and reproductive choice linked to problems of environment and society?
Or do we need to see danger in any argument which takes choice out of the domain of the moral autonomy of the individual?

A movement of women have decided not to procreate in response to the coming ‘climate breakdown and civilisation collapse’.

140 people, mostly women in the UK, have declared their “decision not to bear children due to the severity of the ecological crisis”, and are members of this movement called ‘BirthStrike’

Many of these BirthStrikers are involved with Extinction Rebellion, which threw buckets of red paint outside Downing Street to symbolise “the death of our children” from climate change.
