You did it!
We are absolutely blown away by the results of our Giving Day, Stand Together for Women.
The ActionAid Australia community is amazing. Thank you so much!
If you missed out on the Giving Day, please know that it’s not too late to make a gift and help us reach our goal of empowering 5,000 women.
Around the world, women living on the frontlines of conflict and disaster face a triple burden: To survive, care for their families and communities, and avoid increased risk of violence.
Yet despite being the most impacted, women are rarely given the opportunity to lead in humanitarian response. This means that women’s needs during an emergency are too often overlooked, jeopardising their rights and security and further adding to their burden of care work in crisis.
When women are supported to lead disaster response, they are not only effective and galvanising leaders, ensuring everyone in their community is protected, they also create new spaces for women to lead, taking important steps towards gender equality and social justice. In this way, emergencies can become catalytic moments for change.
That’s why the Stand Together for Women Giving Day is so important.
We need your help to reach our goal of empowering 5,000 women to be prepared for emergencies.
So please, put Thursday, 31 March in your diary and spread the word. The day will only be as big as we make it!
Together, we can achieve our goal of empowering 5,000 women. 💪
