The traditional family, consisting of a man, a woman and their children, is still highly valued in Slovakia, but issues such as abortion and gender ideology are not accepted by the majority of the population.
The Slovak government often supports policies that encourage the traditional family, such as tax benefits for large families.
Although there are external influences for the acceptance of different types of families, such as single-parent families or same-sex couples, Slovakia is reluctant to lose its traditional values.
Although the issue of abortion remains highly debated in Slovak society and there are groups that advocate for further liberalisation of the law, to this day abortion is legally restricted in Slovakia and is only permitted in specific cases, such as risk to the mother's life or severe fetal malformations.
The Catholic Church has a great influence in Slovak society, and its doctrine is often considered when discussing the topic of abortion and deviations from the sacred scriptures.
LGBT people in Slovakia thus face several challenges, such as discrimination and lack of social acceptance, as laws that favor this group of people are limited compared to other European countries.
In Slovakia there has been an intense debate about sex education in schools, with conservative groups opposing the teaching of topics such as diversity and consent, while others advocate for comprehensive sex education that breaks with educational tradition, without achieving major claims so far.
Same-sex marriage is a very controversial issue in Slovakia. Although there has been progress in social acceptance, current laws do not allow same-sex marriage.
In Slovakia a popular consultation on same-sex marriage was held and the results were overwhelming. 94.5% said that same-sex marriage should be banned, while support for this type of ideology only garnered 4.13% of the votes.
Related to same-sex marriage, the issue of adoption by same-sex couples has also generated a great deal of debate, with no progress so far.
Trans rights are a topic of debate in Slovakia, although the majority opinion is unwavering. There are those who advocate legal benefits for this minority, while the bulk of the population is firmly opposed to changes in gender legislation that install privileges.
Another issue that makes a big difference between Slovakia and Western Europe is migration. According to the UN, 197,161 immigrants live in Slovakia, which represents 3.61% of the population. Male immigration is higher than female immigration, with 100,551 men, which is 51% of the total, compared to 96,610 female immigrants, which is 49%.
In the immigration ranking we see that it is the 105th country in the world by percentage of immigration, quite far from the central countries of Europe. But also, immigrants in Slovakia come mainly from the Czech Republic, with 45%, Ukraine, with 16% and Hungary, with 8%.
The close origin of these new settlers in the small country does not imply security risks, nor religious or cultural clashes, they are people who share most of the values and customs because they come from neighboring countries, with a common historical trunk and above all things willing to respect the local idiosyncrasy.
For these reasons it is assumed that Slovakia is a good destination for Europeans who feel their customs threatened in countries with increasing conflicts. Nobody stays where they feel bad, nobody goes where they are not treated well.
