Action " Give me life!»

The Foundation for Social and Cultural Initiatives, whose president is Svetlana Medvedeva, annually conducts an information and educational campaign "Give me life!"in the cities and regions of Russia. It is aimed not only at preventing abortions, but also at preserving family values and traditions. The campaign is closely connected with the holiday "Day of Family, Love and Loyalty" and is held during the week from 9 to 15 July.
Since 1989, the annual number of abortions in Russia has been steadily declining, and in 2007 (for the first time since 1959), the number of newborns in our country exceeded the number of aborted pregnancies. According to 2011 data, for every abortion performed in Russia, there are two children born. Nevertheless, our country still occupies one of the leading places in the sad ranking of countries with a high abortion rate, as well as Estonia, Latvia and Belarus. This cannot but cause alarm and concern. It is important not to prohibit abortion by law, but to make the birth of a child desirable.

Prevention of abortions is carried out not only by state medical institutions. In the cities and regions of Russia, there are public organizations whose activities are aimed at fighting against abortion. The Russian Orthodox Church and other confessions pay great attention to this problem.

Every year within the framework of the campaign, competitions, photo exhibitions are held, posters and brochures of an educational nature are distributed, round tables are held with the participation of doctors, lawyers, psychologists, journalists, representatives of religious and public organizations. The "Give me Life" campaign of the Social and Cultural Initiatives Foundation is supported by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

Your city, district, and republic can participate in the promotion. Perhaps you will find your own forms of its implementation. We will be happy to cooperate in such a large and important business and are always ready to support like-minded people.

We are waiting for you to confirm your participation in the promotion.
