We’re rising to global challenges with local leaders

Advancing Climate Justice

MADRE provides rapid aid to communities experiencing climate disasters. We also stay the course to resource the leadership of women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ people of all genders, so they can address the climate crisis and the extractive industries driving it.

Campaigns

Building A Just Peace

MADRE supports grassroots women and girl leaders striving to create peaceful, just communities in which everyone can thrive. Together, we bring urgent aid to communities, work to address root causes of conflict, and advance rights through women and girls’ participation in peace processes.

Campaigns

Ending Gender Violence

MADRE works to eliminate violence targeting women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ people of all genders. We provide tools and services to help people recover from and prevent gender-based violence and support laws to hold perpetrators accountable.

Campaigns

“Being a feminist woman and fighting for more intersectional spaces means taking on a challenge, a consistent, daily challenge because you know there are many difficulties to overcome. There are also many women to meet who offer you opportunities, spaces, and, above all, to work as a collective.”

YOUR SUPPORT IN ACTION

Rapid Response, Rapid Action

Our network of deep relationships all over the globe allows MADRE to react swiftly to unfolding crises as they occur, delivering emergency aid in the immediate wake of conflict and disaster, as well as ongoing support for rebuilding. In Afghanistan, our partnership with local women leaders allowed us to act quickly after the earthquakes in June 2022 & October 2023 to provide desperately-needed relief.
