Reproductive rights of women in the public space in Croatia: the case study of three most widely read internet portals

The purpose of research was to display and analyse media coverage of women’s reproductive rights and to investigate whether holders of scientific and expert perspectives and unscientific approaches contribute, through their messages, to the understanding of women’s reproductive rights and shaping the value orientation on this current issue in Croatia. Methods: Sampling methods have included texts that contain reproductive rights defined in international documents and key regional human rights treaties published on three of the most widely read Internet portals in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 1.1.2016 to 31.12. 2016. Discussion and Conclusions: The published texts and the messages contained therein point to the level of the culture of dialogue on women’s reproductive rights, which is being led in the public space of the Republic of Croatia, and the permission for women to reflect themselves, individually and independently on those factors that they deem important in the search for answers and making decisions in the moral dilemmas and challenges placed before them by the exercise of reproductive rights.
