ActionAid
ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty
ActionAid's dedicated local staff are changing the world with women and girls. They are ending violence and fighting poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.
Every day, millions of women and girls around the world face injustice, violence, and discrimination – simply because of their gender. Trapped in a cycle of poverty, they have little or no control over their own lives and are in danger in public, at school, at work, and even at home. This needs to change.
ActionAid make sure they are safe from harm and able to earn a living, and prioritise their rights and leadership during times of crisis. They listen to, learn from, and work with whole communities to find solutions and create change that lasts. Their approach works, and they have been building relationships with local partners and governments to challenge injustice for over 40 years.
Their work would not be possible without the generosity of their supporters helping them to change the world for women and girls.
