Citizenship, through the formalisation of relations between the state and individuals, constantly defines one of the key political identities. Although it should be a neutral tool, social life reveals many situations in which people experience citizenship differently. Gender is a category that reveals many of such differences. Starting from gender theories of citizenship, I analyse diaries written by participants in protests in defence of abortion rights in 2020. The empirical material collected allows us to understand how citizenship is negotiated in a situation where fundamental rights are being challenged. It is realised in everyday practices of resistance, but also in care for oneself and the community.
