Sarah Palmer, ActionAid campaigner

Back in April this year we launched the 6 degrees project, to bring women in the UK together with women living in poverty in developing countries in the fight for women’s rights and to end the violence they face. Because We are all just six connections away from anyone in the world. 

We put on a fantastic gig with an amazing line up of young female artists, and asked the audience to get involved and show solidarity by writing messages to Hajara – a young sex worker in Tanzania who is educating other young sex workers to protect themselves about HIV.

The gig was a great night out, but seeing these pictures really brings home the message of solidarity that the six degrees project is all about.  ActionAid works with amazing courageous women like Hajara all over the world, women who fight their way out of poverty, stand up for their rights and inspire people.  Inspire me.
