A hand holds a receipt listing "The cost of being a woman." Items include gender pay gap, pink tax, sexual violence, abortion restrictions, climate risk, and political exclusion. The total due is "Inequality", change due "Justice", followed by a "****SYSTEM ERROR****" message.

Being a woman comes at a cost - and this only intensifies when disaster strikes.

We work with grassroots women’s rights organisations that are fighting to make change happen.

This weekend’s escalation in the Middle East is a reckless breach of international law with consequences far beyond the region.

The US and Israel’s attacks on Iran undermine the rules‑based order, and the silence of many Western leaders at this moment is deeply alarming.
