The performance was held in front of the Zagreb Cathedral, Croatia was dedicated to the attitude of the Catholic Church towards women and the problem that we as citizens of the Republic of Croatia have as a result of the so-called Vatican treaties between our country and the Vatican.
Artist has drawn with barefoot legs the huge women’s sign in blood color, signifying female victims of Catholic ideology.
Catholic ideology as a basis for policies implemented at the state level constantly represents a threat to the already realized rights and freedoms of women, not to mention their improvement.
In recent weeks, we have also witnessed the terrifying case of Mirela Čavajda, who was denied an abortion of a very sick fetus due to a "conscientious objection" from the medical staff (although such abortion is legal) - just one of the arms of the clerical octopus that pervades our public institutions.
This performance will take place in the name of resistance to the clericalization of society and the subordination of the state and public interests to the interests of the Catholic Church, for the rights and freedom of all women from the yoke of patriarchy - institutionalized male supremacy.
"Women, for all these patriarchal centuries, have been adamant in the defense of lives other than our own. We died in childbirth so that others might live. We sustained the lives of children, husbands, fathers, and brothers in war, in famine, in every sort of devastation. We have done this in the bitterness of global servitude. Whatever can be known under patriarchy about commitment to life, we know it. Whatever it takes to make that commitment under patriarchy, we have it. It is time now to repudiate patriarchy by valuing our own lives as fully, as seriously, as resolutely, as we have valued other lives. It is time now to commit ourselves to the nurturance and protection of each other."
