One month on from the devastating 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Afghanistan, ActionAid is still working tirelessly to meet the needs of earthquake survivors, like Fatima*, whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed, many of whom are living in tents.

"The EU is making moves that would trample on hard-fought protections meant to prevent catastrophic workplace tragedies and environmental abuses. Ireland should stand up against that effort." Read Cillian Quinn's piece in today's TheJournal.ie www.thejournal.ie/readme/irela...

Activists across Europe are taking to the streets to demand greater regulation of bad behaviour by big corporations. The protests are at an attempt by the EU to gut hard fought protections within the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The Irish government must reject these rollbacks!

A powerful message from @ActionAid mobilisations in Nigeria: Far more of the world's money is going to the causes of climate change, not the solutions.
💸🌍🔥

This is absurd.

We call on governments to shift the finance flows.

Today, the United Nations concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. This is not the time for words. We now need urgent action from governments. Arms exports to Israel must be banned, sanctions imposed, and Israeli must be held accountable.
