Our Spring edition of Talking Action is here – and it’s full of powerful stories from women around the world who are leading change in their communities.

Every day, thanks to supporters like you, ActionAid is standing with communities to build a more just and sustainable future. In this issue of Talking Action, you’ll read inspiring stories of women standing strong in the face of crisis, leading change and rebuilding after disaster.

This newsletter is a celebration of the power of women’s leadership and the impact you make possible.

In this edition of Talking Action, you’ll find women’s stories from around the world:
  • In Uganda, Lucy escaped years of violence thanks to ActionAid’s women’s shelter. With safety, legal support and community, she’s rebuilding her life and her children’s future.
  • In Gaza, during ongoing war and the soaring costs of essentials, volunteers like Ghaida and Nisreen are baking bread with whatever resources they can find. They’re bringing hope, strength and food to hundreds of families every day. Their stories of resilience are a source of much-needed hope.
  • In Bangladesh, when a dangerous cyclone hit, Ashtami leapt into action and saved lives. She’s proof local women are the backbone of disaster response.
  • In Vanuatu, after a major earthquake, Winnie led emergency efforts and proved to be a powerful leader. With your support, she’s making sure nobody gets left behind.
  • In Australia, Frocking Hilarious lit up Sydney and Brisbane with laughter and raised funds to support women’s rights worldwide. Comedy with a cause has never looked so good.

These are just some of the ways your support has helped transform lives and ensured communities around the world have the strength to build a brighter future.
