Our #UPR Capacity-Building Workshop last week was full of passionate discussions, learning moments, and advocacy planning… but we also made sure to have time and space for collective wellbeing and relaxation.

Thanks to our partner LBT Wellbeing (𝗟𝗕𝗧 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴), participants were able to enjoy several 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 throughout the two days of the workshop, including:

•  Thai herbs for body and mind care

•  Traditional Thai massage tools

•  Mandala coloring

  
  

Whether shared with others or enjoyed alone, moments of pause help us breathe, reflect, and reconnect. These moments are crucial for everyone but especially for activists, journalists, human rights defenders, and marginalised communities.

As Decolonial Intersectional Feminists, at Manushya we strongly believe that 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. By caring for ourselves we push back on authoritarian governments who want us to burn out, and on patriarchy wanting us to feel small and powerless. Now more than ever, we must reaffirm that activism without wellbeing cannot thrive and #𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 #𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.
