Sažetak

Main burden of reproductive tasks falls on women including risks for their own health and life, whilst gender power often is centred through the control over reproduction. Main obstacle to it is patriarchal system which subordinates women through “public” and “private” patriarchate and using of reproductive technology formed in “gendered relations” system, whereby the risk of women's reproductive status is increasing. The most important condition for improving that status is gender social equality.
Sexist discourse in Croatia shows through the forms of traditional and modern sexism, where expectations from women's roles in society are reduced just on their reproductive functions. Structural social obstacles that are established in front of women's own decisions on reproduction and circumstances under which they live, work and care about children condition their social stigma on more levels what has important implications on their decisions on reproduction which are for society and women-self of vital interest.
