Facing low birth rates and an aging population, Russia is set to ban any information deemed to promote a "rejection of childbearing."

Summary

Russian lawmakers passed a controversial bill banning “child-free propaganda” to reverse a demographic slump and promote traditional family values.

The bill targets materials that promote a conscious rejection of having children and includes fines and deportation provisions.

It comes alongside existing bans on LGBTQ+ relationships and gender reassignment.
