The ‘Hod za život, obitelj i Hrvatsku’ (March for Life, Family, and Croatia) movement is conducting a series of marches across various Croatian cities to advocate for the protection of unborn life and the reform of abortion laws dating back to 1978.

In Sinj, the march received support from Minister of Demography and Family Ivan Šipić. However, the event in Pula experienced tension and required rerouting after young activists staged a sit-in protest to advocate for reproductive rights, leading to verbal confrontations between participants and protesters. 

The movement continues with scheduled events, including a march in Varaždin on October 3, as part of a broader effort involving 19 different cities. Organizers are calling for legislative changes that would provide absolute legal protection for the unborn while increasing social support for mothers.
