Note: I moved this under a read more since donations can no longer be made here. Feel free to make some to a charity of your choice though!
Did you know it used to be the Christmas goat that brought you your presents in Sweden?
To keep the spirit alive, you can officially make a donation in the name of this little crochet goat to support everyone's right to survive their pregnancy! Just go to this link and follow these steps:
Please note that this collection only remains active until 15 Dec 2024! More information about the organisers can be found at the bottom of this post.
On the right hand side/top of the linked page, you can see the current sum of donations. Below that are some options we need to fill out to make a donation of our own.
First we need to disclose whether the donation is being made by a private individual (Privatperson) or a business (Företag). I'm assuming you're a private individual, so leave the first option selected (on the left).
Next we choose the method of payment. "Swish" is a Swedish payment service that won't work for foreigners, and if you're Swedish I'm assuming you already know how it works. Foreigners, please choose the second option to pay by card (Kort).
Now for the fun bit! How much do you want to donate? The standard options are presented in Swedish krona (kr). I have put the rough exchange rates to US dollars for each option below:
50 kr ≈ $4.56 | 100 kr ≈ $9.13 | 300 kr ≈ $27.38
You can convert from your currency to Swedish krona using this tool. Just choose your own currency in the first drop-down menu ("from").
In the final field you have the option to instead enter your own amount, if you want to give less or more or in between any of the previous options. Note that the amount you enter is in Swedish krona, so look up the exchange rates so that you know how much you are giving if you choose this option!!
The final two check boxes are options that relate to the public display of your donation (see the bottom of the page). If you don't check either option, your donation amount will be visible but your name will not be.
Check the first box if you want your name to show up in the public list of donations, leave it unchecked to remain anonymous. Check the second box if you want to hide the amount you've donated, leave it unchecked to show the world your donation amount.
Finally, hit the red button to be taken to the payment page. Fulfil the payment, and be sure to double check the amount you're donating. Note that we use commas instead of dots to separate decimals in Swedish, so 50,00 kr means simply 50 kr.
And that's it! Thank you so much for your donation!! 🥳🐐
Please reblog this post so that more people will hopefully donate, or at least get to enjoy a tiny Gävlebock!
What is this charity thing?
Musikhjälpen is an annual charity event organised by the Swedish public broadcasters. Every year in December, 3 hosts are locked in a glass cage for a week and they broadcast in shifts, nonstop for 144 hours (6 days, 24 hours per day) to create an occasion for charity donations. They are visited by various music artist, celebrities, and talk to people who have special knowledge about the donation theme of the year or who organise initiatives for donations. You can watch clips of previous performances on their youtube channel here.
The event's official donations website also allows the public to set up their own "initiatives", to which donations can be made. This is what I have done! The money goes directly to the event organisers (the public broadcasters' aid agency, Radiohjälpen), who then pool all the money that is collected during the week. After the week is done they will begin portioning it out to trusted charities that are relevant to this year's theme. This year's theme is Alla har rätt att överleva sin graviditet, or in English: Everyone Has a Right to Survive Their Pregnancy.
Learn more about musikhjälpen on English Wikipedia or on Sveriges radio's website (in Swedish).
Or
If you prefer, the goat will be just as happy if you make a donation to a charity of your choice. You'll have to find links to other causes on your own though! 😊
I should probably also mention that I am in no way officially affiliated with Gävlebocken, I just crocheted a little guy and thought it would be nice to spread some constructive spirit among all the calls for arson. 😇

Did they announce the purpose of this year's Musikhalpen?
They did. This year the theme is:
Everyone has the right to survive their pregnancy.
Maternal mortality is a hidden disaster in the shadow of an increasing number of wars and conflicts in the world. Climate disasters, poverty and discrimination also mean that pregnant women do not have access to the care they need. Every two minutes, a woman in the world dies linked to pregnancy and childbirth. Between the years 2000 and 2015, maternal mortality decreased in the world, but then the trend was broken.
Ensuring women's sexual and reproductive rights and health is fundamental for the individual, the family but also for the whole society. A safe pregnancy and a safe delivery are important issues of equality and gender equality.
Maternal mortality is particularly high in low- and middle-income countries, often due to a lack of access to care. Many are forced to give birth at home, which means that even minor complications involve great risks. Teenage girls are especially vulnerable. Complications in pregnancy and unsafe abortions are the leading causes of death among 15-19-year-old girls in the world.
In war-torn areas, fighting or bombed-out roads can make it impossible for those who need urgent maternity care to get there. And for people on the run, there may be no healthcare institutions to turn to for help.
The money collected during Musikhjälpen 2024 will go to efforts around the world. It is about increasing access to care before, during and after childbirth. To strengthen the health systems that can handle severe complications and provide emergency maternity care. Or improve post-natal care to ensure the well-being of both baby and mother. It can also be about offering safe abortions, which reduces the risk of injury and death.

Rush av Troye Sivan som en av de första musikhjälpen låtarna medans landets mest kända bög in a box dansar med. Ugh Sverige kanske ändå har lita taste
