Public awareness campaign on poor conditions in Croatian maternity hospitals: Mother's Day is not celebrated in maternity hospitals!
The RODA Association, together with the Midwives Association and the BaBe organization, organized an action to mark Mother's Day on May 13, 2007, with the aim of raising public awareness of the poor conditions in Croatian maternity hospitals as well as the violation of basic human rights of women during childbirth.
Rode su 2002. godine organizirala peticiju “Moj porod – Moje tijelo – Moj izbor” kako bi senzibilizirala hrvatsku javnost i apelirala na rodilišta da promjene zastarjele prakse koje se još uvijek provode u našim rodilištima.
Unfortunately, the situation is not much better today. Progress is minimal and very slow, gynecologists and maternity hospitals are still an impenetrable wall, and the wishes of women in labor for a more humane, intimate, and natural birth are generally not respected. Almost every birth is transformed into a risky condition and a disease that requires treatment, and otherwise healthy women and newborns become patients who take a long time to recover from childbirth. In addition to unnecessarily burdening the healthcare system, women often experience childbirth as a trauma, which affects their decision to have more children.
Uz gore navedena evidentna kršenja Zakona o zaštiti prava pacijenata, sablažnjava činjenica da se u rodilištima konstantno krše i temeljna, najosnovnija, ljudska prava rodilja i novorođenčadi. Ulaskom u rodilište, vrlo često se dogodi da rodilja postane broj bez prava glasa: nad njenim tijelom se izvršavaju postupci bez traženja pristanka, bez objašnjavanja o čemu se radi, uz uvijek prisutan izgovor da se sve radi “u interesu djeteta”.
Stop risky sex education
Civic Coalition STOP RISK SEX EDUCATION was founded on January 11, 2007, as a result of a meeting between the CESI association and about thirty concerned citizens, representatives of networks, associations, institutions and political parties.
The immediate reason for the establishment of the Coalition is the decision of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of December 29, 2006, that the Experimental Health Education Program of the GROZD Association will be implemented in about ten schools as part of class community hours starting next school year.
Civic initiative “Matija Gubec”
Građanska inicijativa “Matija Gubec” – otpor prostoru političke diskrecije, nastala je spontano 2005. godine, kao reakcija građana i građanki, udruga i sindikata na Zakon o izmjenama i dopunama Zakona o javnom okupljanju NN 90/2005, kojeg smatramo potpuno neopravdanim i neprihvatljivim s obzirom na niz razloga, među kojima je ključno kršenje ustavnih prava građana i građanki RH na izražavanje mišljenja i javno okupljanje.
