The body is the first political frontier, the place where the battle for autonomy is fought against those who seek to dictate which lives are valid and which must be corrected. Ableism and patriarchy function as cogs in the same machine: one ranks bodies according to their functional “normality,” and the other punishes those who disobey the mandate of silence and submission. When a mother protects her children from violence or when we assert neurodiversity as part of human diversity, we are challenging a system that uses stigma and the pedagogy of fear to keep us isolated.

In the face of this logic of control, the response can only be collective: politicizing care and building infrastructures that allow us to exist without being crushed. It is not about fitting into the world, but about transforming it through networks of mutual support that uphold dignity in the face of economic or institutional punishment. In the following lines, we present three Goteo projects that embody this resistance through law, technology, and art. Will you join us?

Patriarchy Against Women: Legal Support for Protective Mothers

👉🏼 This project is a legal defense fund designed to protect those who protect others. Its goal is to finance the legal defense of four mothers (Ana, Silvia, Celia, and Mayra) who are facing legal proceedings for reporting acts of violence and refusing to remain silent. All funds raised will go toward covering attorneys’ fees, court costs, and the fines imposed by the system as a mechanism of punishment and subjugation.

💜 The importance of this project lies in exposing how the judicial system becomes a battlefield to restore a patriarchal order based on obedience. By invoking concepts like false PAS or criminalizing “inadequate” motherhood, institutions attempt to financially ruin women who break the pact of silence. Supporting this cause means defending the right to gender-sensitive justice that does not punish the bond between mothers and children.

🗣️We encourage you to participate in this crowdfunding campaign to ensure that justice is not a luxury reserved for those who can afford it. Your contribution helps build a safety net so that these women do not have to choose between defending their dignity and financial survival. Participate here.

Cicla: the menstrual cycle tracking app created by women

📲 Cicla is a mobile app dedicated to providing in-depth knowledge about the menstrual cycle, developed independently by a women-led team since 2019. It is an ethical, free tool that puts privacy first, with no ads and no sale of data to third parties. The new version of the app aims to offer personalized insights and verified educational information so that users can understand how hormonal phases influence their daily well-being.

🩸This project is essential because it recognizes the menstrual cycle as the fifth vital sign of health, just as relevant as heart rate or blood pressure. Historically, this aspect of our biology has been rendered invisible, leading to a lack of social awareness that directly impacts women’s autonomy and health. By supporting Cicla, we are funding a feminist technological infrastructure that refuses to commodify our menstrual health.

🤗 Participating in this campaign is essential to ensure that the app remains a freely accessible resource independent of external investors. After years of volunteer work and funding from personal savings, the team needs the community’s support to cover maintenance and technical development costs. Contribute to the campaign here.

The Funeral of the Last Madman

🎭 This project consists of a street theater and music performance titled L'enterrament de l'últim boig, which will take place on June 6, 2026, in the Sant Andreu neighborhood of Barcelona. Through a musical parade depicting the funeral of a character named Martín, the performance will engage the audience in a reflection on madness and civic coexistence. The initiative was created by the Associació Matissos and the Companyia Estable de Teatre La Trifulga dels Fútils, collectives where art serves as a tool for resistance and mutual support.

🌸 The significance of this project lies in its fight against the stigma associated with mental health and the excessive medicalization of human diversity. By celebrating Boig Pride Day, we are calling for a paradigm shift: moving away from cold medical diagnoses toward a culture based on rights, inclusion, and the voices of those who have survived the psychiatric system. It is an act of empowerment that uses the word “boig” in a positive way to transform social perceptions.

🎼 We encourage you to contribute so that this symbolic funeral can have the orchestra, costumes, and materials needed to fill the streets with music and advocacy. With your support, you enable inclusive companies with decades of experience to continue using theater to bring visibility to struggles that are often confined behind walls. Join this festive funeral procession to show that in our society, pride and mental diversity will never be buried. Donate here now.
