ActionAid Ireland is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty.

Throughout the world, ActionAid works to strengthen the capacity and agency of people living in poverty and exclusion, especially women, to assert their rights. Supporting women and children as they claim their rights, is the most effective way for communities to lead themselves out of poverty.
