WHO - Mother or nothing: the agony of infertility
Many infertile women in developing countries consider that, without children, their lives are without hope. Weiyuan Cui reports on the burden many of these women carry and the lack of affordable care.
Infertility affects up to 15% of reproductive-aged couples worldwide
This is a staggering amount of people and with this amount of society being affected by this topic I would have thought that this might be tackled on a regular basis, yet you rarely see this topic being looked at in contemporary art?
So this is why I will be using the word Infertility in my artists statement as I believe this is feeding society exactly what they want by keeping quiet or the lid on a topic that people are uncomfortable.
