Children, no thanks! Why women don’t want kids | DW Documentary
2025 · 26 min · English
The film follows young women who have decided against motherhood and traces how that choice collided, across decades and two German states, with pressure to have more children for the sake of the nation. It sets their reasoning against a history in which a childless woman was once considered worthless to society.
