“ActionAid Australia supports women on the frontlines of injustice. We give women the space, the skills and the knowledge to drive change in their own lives. This is what makes us different. We’re supporting women’s self-determination and ability to make their own choices and decisions. Our role is to facilitate and support that process.”
Michelle Higelin, Executive Director
