Campaigns

With International Women's Day behind us, ActionAid's Community Campaigners reflect on this important day and share their thoughts on how women's and girls' leadership is needed now more than ever.

COP29 has brought together leaders and NGOs from around the world in Baku, Azerbaijan to address the climate crisis, explore solutions, and discuss ways to support those most affected.  

ActionAid UK has established a presence at the event, advocating for support for those on the frontlines of the climate crisis, amplifying the call for increased climate finance. So what are we asking for? And why is this issue so important? Here are some of the key points we are hoping to raise throughout the conference. 

Around the world we are witnessing a sustained attack on women’s rights, with policies like those of Donald Trump rolling back decades of progress. Add your name to stand with us for the rights of women and refugees.

In the UK, ActionAid fundraises, offers child sponsorship, campaigns for change, helps shape UK policy, and offers free teaching resources to UK schools.

Through committed campaigning, our supporters have kept the pressure on and made real change to people’s lives. Here are some of the incredible things ActionAid campaigners have done.
