Action Magazine

Action Magazine shares stories about women and girls around the world changing their lives and becoming leaders in their communities.

In this issue you can read about Helen Bong from ActionAid Vanuatu and her courageous efforts to help people following the earthquake that struck Port Vila in December 2024.

You can also discover how community movements have assisted women in freeing themselves from bonded labour in Nepal, or how summer camps in Rwanda are empowering girls with confidence around periods, consent and their personal rights.

If you want to join the fight for equality you can also find details on the new national, feminist collective we’re building for supporters who want to take action for gender justice.

Action Magazine only offers a snapshot of ActionAid’s work; your support is incredibly important to continue projects like these around the world. Donate today and be part of transformative change.
