Standing with women.
Changing the world

From women’s rights to climate justice – here’s how ActionAid Ireland takes action.

Our work championing women’s rights

We are a women’s rights organisation. We believe standing in solidarity with women and girls is the most powerful way to create lasting change — from emergency response to economic justice.

Climate & Economic Justice

Poverty and inequality don't happen by
accident. We challenge the systems that
lock women and girls out of power and
resources.

Women & Girl’s Rights

Protecting and defending women's rights is
at the heart of everything we do. When
women and girls are supported, they
become unstoppable leaders.

Humanitarian Emergencies

When disaster strikes, we act. Our local
teams deliver food, water, shelter and hope — and stay long after the cameras leave.

Climate justice. Economic justice. Women and girls leading the response the world hasn’t yet caught up to. We research, campaign and act to change the systems that drive inequality.
