23. November 2017
Million signatures for protecting human life from the moment of conception, for banning artificial abortions and extending help to pregnant women and families with children from federal budget will be conveyed on Tuesday to the administration of the Russian president by representatives of For Life movement. Press-service of the movement told the journalists that the action will start at 10:30 a.m. when participants in the action will stand in lines near the Kremlin administration with boxes with signatures in their hands.

Thousands of volunteers collected signatures in all 85 regions of the country. Boxes are decorated with children's drawings. 100 boxes were required to place all signatures. Later on 21 November 2017 actions will be held near embassies of those countries where children's rights before birth are most fully protected to support the legislation of these countries.

On the same day, there will be a flashmob in social nets where advocates of children's rights from the moment of conception will post photos with hashtags #million_ and _I#forlife.

"To a certain degree a child's life before birth is protected in 139 countries of the world. Russia, which is dying out, belongs to the category of the most liberal countries where a human life before birth is not protected at all," the movement coordinator Sergey Chesnokov told the journalists.
