Tying my tubes to stay child-free
The UNFPA has warned that human fertility rates are facing an 鈥榰nprecedented decline'
The UNFPA has warned that human fertility rates are facing an 鈥榰nprecedented decline' across the globe. In a recent report, it said that many people are having fewer children than they want, or none at all, because of factors like the cost of living and difficulties finding a suitable partner.
At the same time, some people are actively choosing a child-free life, and more women are now opting for sterilisation procedures like tubal ligation.
Focus on Africa podcast host, Nkechi Ogbonna, spoke to 29-year-old Nelly Naisula Sironka, who has chosen to be child-free and underwent tubal ligation in 2024.
