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 organisation that works with women and girls on effective, long-term 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 donation?
