Your donation could help keep girls safe

Women and girls have the right to be safe, wherever they are. Their homes and neighbourhoods should be places where they feel most comfortable, where they have nothing to fear.

But for many women and girls, this isn’t the reality. In 95% of reported rape cases in India the survivors knew their rapist. He wasn’t a stranger. He was a partner, a family member, a neighbour, a ‘friend’.

ActionAid is committed to ending violence against women and girls. Our local workers tackle violence in their communities and help survivors access the services they need and the justice they deserve.

In India, we run crisis centres which include temporary shelters where women at risk have a place to sleep, and private rooms where survivors can get access to medical treatment. So your donation could help keep women and girls safe from violence and on track to rebuild their lives.

What ActionAid does

ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. The denial of their rights is one of the biggest causes of poverty worldwide, and a grave injustice. That’s why we put the rights of women and girls at the heart of all we do.

Our dedicated local staff are helping end violence against women and girls and changing lives, for good. We won’t stop until women and girls are out of danger, out of poverty and on track to create the future they want.

We focus on women and girls. Because when they unlock their potential and claim their rights, they can change the course of their lives, and the lives of their families, forever.

We partner with women, giving them the tools and skills to help themselves, and fight what holds them back.
Through our long-standing child sponsorship programme, we give children and their communities better prospects for the future.
We work directly with and through local people, gaining unparalleled insight into what works.
