We work across 70 countries and represent a global movement of women standing together to claim their human rights and campaign against injustice.

Around the world, we partner with local women’s organisations, who know exactly what changes their communities need – and we support them to design and lead programs that will make those changes happen. From empowering women with the tools to campaign for safer cities, or building women’s capacity to respond to climate disasters, our programs support women living in poverty and exclusion, and their communities.

In Australia, we stand in solidarity with women globally by fundraising and campaigning. We fundraise to get women the resources they need to lead change for gender equality and social justice. We mobilise a community activist network, campaigning to hold the Australian Government and corporations accountable for their impact on the rights of women living in poverty and exclusion around the world.
