ADVOCACY
WORKING GROUP

The AWG aims to grow and provide a community of and for individuals and organizations currently or interested in advancing self-care through policy, programmatic, and public advocacy at global, regional, national, and subnational levels. Intended to be a sharing, learning, and incubation forum, the AWG strives to bring more people into the self-care fold, linking and connecting with established coalitions to socialize self-care as a cross-cutting solution for promoting broader health, well-being, and rights.
