The situation in Yemen is one of the most brutal humanitarian crises today. But with your support, we’re helping women and families in Yemen survive and rebuild. 

Thanks to your support of Harvesting Hope, MADRE and our local partners organize regular farmers markets for the women farmers to sell their crops.

Thanks to your support, MADRE and our local partners at Taller de Vida can continue to offer our healing programs for former child soldiers and sexual violence survivors in Colombia.

Rose decided to start an Indigenous Women’s Forum for women living along Nicaragua’s North Atlantic Coast.

We compiled a timeline of documented incidences of women killed by ISIS because of their gender expression, including defying ISIS ascribed roles, behaviors, and dress codes. 

Where we work in Kenya, climate change is wreaking havoc on the lives of women farmers who depend on the land. When MADRE recently traveled there to visit our local partner organization, the Indigenous Information Network (IIN), we learned more about the solutions women create.

One year ago, we launched a new project with Wangki Tangni, our partners in Nicaragua.

Today, Trump released his budget proposal, one that eviscerates funding for vital social services at home and abroad while bloating defense spending. I’ve talked to you about his cruelty budget before, and how it will impact our work with women worldwide. With you standing with us, MADRE and our grassroots partners are fighting back.

With your support, our local partners at Taller de Vida have been hard at work expanding our healing programs with former child soldiers and sexual violence survivors in El Chocó, Colombia

The Trump administration continues to show that it doesn’t care about women, in the US or around the world. Yesterday, in one of this administration’s latest assaults on women, the State Department cut all US funding to the UNFPA, a United Nations agency that provides a wide range of lifesaving maternal and reproductive health care worldwide.

Terrified families are trapped in intensifying violence with nowhere to turn. But through your support of MADRE, you have helped reach them with lifesaving care. As we speak, our on-the-ground partners, the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), are in eastern Mosul preparing to open a new shelter for women and families escaping US airstrikes. There, they will receive vital safe haven and care, including food and medical aid. 

Today, on International Women's Day, we take to the streets to celebrate courageous women around the world. We renew the promise to be ever bolder in our demands for justice and more defiant against oppression.
