Change happens when we come together.

From girls’ right to education and women’s right to vote, to access to decent healthcare, progress has happened because women and girls have organised, spoken out and demanded change.

But there’s still a long way to go.

Women are still 134 years away from achieving equality with men.
One in three women experience violence in their lifetime.
Women earn, on average, 20% less than men globally.

We need a movement that challenges injustice, demands change and builds a fairer future for everyone.

That’s why ActionAid UK has a Feminist Collective: a national, activist community of volunteers dedicated to gender justice.

Through activism, advocacy and awareness-raising, we come together to challenge inequality, build power and stand alongside women and girls around the world.

Because the more of us who take action, the stronger our collective power becomes.
