16 Days of Self Care - Day 3; Accept

Healing from gender-based and sexual violence is not linear, and it's not something we do in isolation. Today we focus on acceptance. Of ourselves. Of our process. Of our journey on our healing path.

You are deserving of care.
You are deserving of support.
You are deserving of peace.
🌿💜

Just start. One step at a time.

You are deserving of care.
You are deserving of support.

16 Days of Action Campaign starts today.

Healing from gender-based and sexual violence is not linear, and it's not something we do in isolation. These next 16 days are dedicated to practices that help us slow down, ground ourselves, and reconnect with our bodies.

From rest, to breathwork, to simple acts of self-kindness. Each day invites you to honour your own rhythm of healing.

You are deserving of care.
You are deserving of support.
You are deserving of peace.
🌿💜
