We are thrilled to introduce the WAVE Toolkit on Feminist Self-Care for Young Activists and Young Professionals! This resource is crafted to support young changemakers in sustaining their mental and physical well-being while engaging in transformative work for gender equality.

Activism can be empowering and inspiring but also physically and emotionally demanding. Based on insights from over 40 young feminist activists and professionals, the toolkit explores key challenges such as imposter syndrome, stress management, and the importance of setting boundaries. It provides practical strategies and personal reflections to help you engage in sustainable activism with resilience and care.

This publication builds on our 2022 WAVE Campaigning and Advocacy Toolkit for Youth Activists, offering a complementary resource tailored to the needs of young professionals and activists working for systemic change.

Whether you are advocating in professional spaces, organising in your community, or driving policy change, this toolkit is here to help you prioritise your well-being while making a difference.
