“Croatia rose for freedom.
We gave our community what it needs the most — togetherness. United and connected, we created something truly powerful. Countless encounters, exchanged words, shared smiles and embraces. Elderly, middle-aged, young — all of us together, without divisions, moving in the same rhythm of solidarity.
The spirit of One Billion Rising against violence against women was deeply present — not only in our messages, but in every conversation and every moment of connection. At the same time, the Women’s Film Festival once again opened its doors at the Museum of Contemporary Art, offering three days dedicated to film, culture, and the voices of women who are changing reality.
The program “Ageing Without Censorship” was in full momentum — the residents of St. Ana Home were the true stars of the day. Accompanied by social workers and the Home’s director, they reminded us that dignity, experience, and warmth transcend generations.
HRT, Croatian Radio, and the media stood with us — at a level that gave full meaning and strength to culture, film, and public dialogue. Everything came together in service of what community life truly is: support, exchange of experiences, love, and genuine solidarity.
This is how it should always be. This is why we exist.
Together, we said NO to violence.
And we sent the most humane message — to one another and to the entire community.”
