Nearly 70% of fatalities are women and children. And as Israel’s blockade of much-needed aid continues, women and families are left fighting to survive.

Now more than ever, world leaders need to act. Humanitarian assistance needs to be allowed in.

🚨Gaza is dying🚨

What was once a fragile ceasefire - a faint glimmer of hope for peace - has crumbled.

Starvation, disease and continued Israeli attacks are causing untold suffering across the region.

Last night, we joined with @centenaryaction.bsky.social & @thecirclengo.bsky.social to mark #IWD in Parliament.

We brought together MPs, women’s rights organisations, activists, advocates & charities at a time when solidarity & support is essential.

Women are driving change in their communities every day. But with diminishing funding globally, their impact is held back. Now more than ever, the world needs to fund the grassroots organisations fighting for a more just and equal world for women and girls ✊

The event saw women’s rights leaders discuss why funding women rights organisations is urgent. As Grace put it: β€œIt is clear from my own experience and my work that it is vital that women provide warmth and synergy for and with each other. Without that connection, women feel lost in this space.”

To mark #InternationalWomensDay, leaders from our grassroots partners, Rahela Sidiqi from the Rahela Trust and Grace Dorong from Root of Generations, shared their experiences from the frontlines of activism at the UK Parliament yesterday.

Today we’re excited to be in Parliament for our #IWD event, urging the government to commit 20% UK aid budget directly to women and girls.
