Campaign for change

We work in 45 countries to help women and girls to work their way out of poverty – but we know that this alone is not enough. To change lives for good, we need to fight the root causes that keep some of the world’s most vulnerable women and children poor in the first place.

We help women fight for their rights

Supporting women to claim their rights together is at the heart of ActionAid’s work to fight poverty and inequality. Together with activists in 25 countries, we’re changing the policies and attitudes that hold women back.

Campaign for women’s rights

All over the world women and girls have less money, less access to education, and less political representation than men. But in every country, inspiring women activists are standing up and working together to claim back their rights. We’re standing with them. Will you?
