Childlessness in Turkey /  by Miriam Schaer

I am a bit behind on posting news-some of these just fall thru the cracks…in May, my Facebook friend Çiğdem Dalay sent me a link to this interview she had given about her decision not to have children, and the state of child free women (by choice or chance) in Turkey. The publication used an image of mine-and I was very touched by that. You can see the article (which is in Turkish) here
