Activity 1: Write a letter to yourself

Writing a letter to yourself is a good way to maintain accountability by expressing your goals and later reflecting on your progress and the commitments you have made to yourself.

Women and gender diverse people with disabilities have a right to have a voice about the issues that impact their lives. 

Ask yourself: “What decisions are being made that impact my life? How can I get involved and create meaningful change?”

Now write a letter to yourself about what it might look like for you to represent the ‘nothing about us without us’ principle in your community. For example, taking part in local government advisory groups to provide advice on new policies or programs. 

Revisit your letter in 12-months’ time and reflect on your achievements. Remember to celebrate all progress, big and small.
