Your donation is an investment in equality. Not a handout.
Transform a women's life today. Choose the change you want to support
As you are reading this, a woman is facing dangers no one should ever face
- Forced to have sex to afford food
- Facing violence in her own home.
- Made to accept a marriage, even though she's still a child.
Why?
Because she lives inside a system that has shut her off from power to change that.
It doesn’t have to stay that way. With the right support, women and girls all over the world are changing these conditions every day. Organising. Challenging. Leading. When you donate monthly, you don’t just give, you stand with this woman. letting her know that you back her as she takes control of her own life. One that is safe, and happy. One that she chose for herself.
This is supporting women and girls not just to survive, but to thrive.
Thank you for believing in a fairer, safer world for women and girls everywhere.
Your donation is not a quick fix but an action towards a different future
The hardest-to-reach women and girls are proven to be the greatest generators of change. Thank you for donating and believing in a more fair world for women everywhere.
Stand in solidarity
When you give what you can afford right now, you’re standing with women and girls who need to know they’re not alone. You’re transforming their ability to stand up for themselves. You’re giving them the tools to find their own power.
Why donate to Actionaid
Thank you for asking yourself this question, because we really believe in our answer. While we respond immediately in emergencies, we are committed to building long-term change. Every donation is an action to support that. Our approach is grounded in the belief that the women and girls closest to the issues are best placed to lead change within their own communities. Independent from political and religious organisations, our focus is on securing lasting improvements in rights, safety and equality. For good.

A gift in your will
Make your legacy a fairer world for women.
What is legacy giving?
At its heart, your Will is about your willingness to do good. It’s about helping those you love — your careful resolve to continue making a life-enhancing difference even after you’re gone. Legacy giving adds to that. It’s a way of choosing to leave something to a cause you care about.
No matter the amount, a gift in your Will would make life-changing and lasting impacts on the lives of the women and girls we work with. It will support work that doesn’t end with one moment, but continues long into the future.
If you’d like to find out more about leaving a gift in your Will, we’d love to have a chat with you. There will be no obligation or pressure — just email our colleague Niamh, or phone her at 01 878 7911.
I decided to leave a bequest to ActionAid Ireland mainly because
I admire its focus on the support of women and girls in a world in which patriarchs still rule many a roost.
