ActionAid Ireland’s strategy 2022-2027 sets out the organisation’s vision for a just and caring world where women’s human rights are respected through addressing the structural causes of Gender Based Violence (GBV), promoting women’s leadership and amplifying feminist alternatives on economic and climate justice. ActionAid Ireland’s strategy also makes clear commitments to anti-racism, shifting power and decolonisation, embedding learning and evaluation and safeguarding.
