Every day, millions of women and girls around the world face injustice, violence and discrimination. Too many are struggling to feed their families amid a cost of living crisis - and a rapidly changing climate.
But there is hope. ActionAid is a community-led UK charity that works with women and girls on effective, long-term humanitarian solutions to poverty and violence - like education, training and small loans. These practical policies help women and girls to invest in their futures, claim their rights and become leaders of change in their communities.
Will you be a part of this long-term change, by making a charity donation?
What does ActionAid do?
ActionAid is working towards a world in which every woman and girl can enjoy the right to a life of dignity, freedom from poverty and discrimination.
We're committed to ending the cycle of violence in communities around the world, enabling women's economic empowerment, and supporting women and girls during humanitarian crises.
We build relationships with communities - especially women and girls. We listen to the challenges they face and work with them to find sustainable solutions.
Our dedicated local staff are changing the world with women and girls support by your charity donation.
