| Abstract | Udruga „Hrvatska za Život“ neprofitna je pro-life udruga u Hrvatskoj, čiji je cilj osvijestiti hrvatski narod o pitanju pobačaja, ponuditi edukaciju i pomoć kroz razne inicijative, programe i projekte koje provodi. Osnovana je 2014. godine zahvaljujući pro-life inicijativi „40 dana za život“ u Hrvatskoj.
Inicijativa „40 dana za život“ djeluje kroz tri elementa: molitva i post, miroljubivo bdijenje te osvješćivanje lokalne zajednice o bioetičkoj i moralnoj problematici pobačaja. Predstavlja znak nade trudnicama koje se premišljaju oko pobačaja djeteta. Trudnicama koje odluče zadržati dijete, a potrebna im je materijalna, duhovna, financijska, psihološka ili bilo koja druga pomoć pomaže tim za trudnice „Nisi sama“ koji je dio udruge „Hrvatska za Život“. Rehabilitaciju žena koje pate od postabortivnog sindroma nastoji se provesti kroz program „Oprostom oslobođene“. Udruga pri tom ne zaboravlja ni muškarce, te im pruža pomoć kroz program „Iscijeljene srca očeva“. Kako bi smanjili broj pobačaja, neodgovornim spolnim ponašanjem, provodi se program „Prava ljubav čeka“ koji mlade osvještava brizi o vlastitom tijelu i potiče na život u predbračnoj čistoći. Pomoć se također nudi i supružnicima koji imaju problema sa začećem djeteta kroz program „Vikendi srca Marijina“.
Udruga djeluje i putem raznih web portala kao što su „ružarij.com“, čiji je cilj poticanje na molitvu Gospine krunice za prestanak pobačaja i portala „Muževni budite“, za uspostavljanje ispravnog koncepta muževnosti te putem međunarodnih konferencija za život „Život, dakle biraj!“ radi osvješćivanja hrvatskog naroda o pitanju pobačaja. Uz sve to, udruga „Hrvatska za Život“ djeluje i kroz druge razne projekte, kao što su: „Centar za život“, „Utrka za život“, marijanske procesije i koncerti, časopis „Pohod“ i drugo. |
| Abstract (english) | “Croatia for Life” Association is a non-profit pro-life organization in Croatia, whose goal is to raise awareness about the problem of abortion in Croatia and to offer education and assistance through various initiatives, programs, and projects it implements. It was founded in 2014’, thanks to the pro-life initiative “40 Days to Live” in Croatia.
The “40 Days for Life” initiative works through three main elements: prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and community awareness of bioethical and moral problem of abortion. Pregnant women who decide to keep their child, and who need material, spiritual, financial, psychological, or any other help; are provided with the same by the team for pregnant women “You are Not Alone”, which is part of the association "Croatia for Life". Rehabilitation of women suffering from post-abortion syndrome is sought through the “Forgiven and Set Free” program. The Association does not forget fathers who suffer from the post-abortion syndrome and provides them with help through the “Healing of Father's Heart” program. To reduce the number of abortions, by an irresponsible sexual behavior, the “True Love Waits” program is being implemented, which makes young people conscious of their own bodies and encourages them to live in premarital chastity. Assistance is also offered to spouses with infertility problems through the “Mary’s Heart Weekends” program.
The association also operates through various web portals such as “ružarij.com”, which aims to encourage Our Lady's Rosary to end abortions and “Be manlike”, a portal to renew the correct concept of masculinity, and also through international conferences for life “Therefore choose life!” in order to raise awareness about the issue of abortion. In addition to all this, the “Croatia for Life” Association also works through various other projects, such as “Center for Life”, “Race for Life”, Marian processions and concerts, the magazine “Pohod”, etc. |
