In September 2013 Slovakia held two marches, both of them heavily attended, loaded with emotions, arguments and strong stances.

The fourth official Pride March, supporting the rights of the LGBTI community – that is people who are either Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Intersexual was the first one in the calendar, held on Saturday in the capital Bratislava.

Just a day after the Pride March, on Sunday, more than 70 000 people met in the second biggest Slovak town of Kosice to march “for life”. What are they marching for? Katarina Richterova talks to Pro Life and Pro Choice supporters to find out more about sexual education and unwanted pregnancies in Slovakia.
