"The maternal is political" Mara Ricoy Olariaga

A space for feminism, women's rights, birth justice, and resistance.

 

Why I Campaign

I believe birth is not just a private experience — it’s a deeply political one. Who gets listened to, who is believed, who is cared for (and how) reflects the systems we live in. My work in birth and language often takes me to the frontline of structural injustice — and I can’t unsee it.

Matriactivista is where I speak, write, and campaign from that place.
