Despite intermittent access to humanitarian aid caused by Israeli blockades, our long-term relationships with local organizers and community members allow us to ensure we can deliver relief to Palestinians in Gaza.
Peace cannot coexist with occupation.

The US war on terrorism did more damage to Afghan women's and girls' rights than its claim to protect them.
As the crisis worsens and communities see a rollback to their human rights, the US has a responsibility to repair the harm it has exacerbated.

With the civil war in Sudan well into its third year, those across the Sudanese diaspora continue to demand #AllEyesOnSudan.

We spoke with Fatima Ahmed, founder & president of Zenab for Women in Development, on the devastating injustices women, girls, & their communities face.

[MADRE @MADREspeaks]

Sudan is experiencing one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.
On the tail-end of a movement fueled by women and their communities to secure true democracy, a civil war disrupted what many hoped would be the start of something better.
Now, they call for #AllEyesOnSudan.

At the UN Security Council Open Debate on Conflict-Related Sexual Violence, Carine Jocelyn, Founder and Director of the Haitian Women’s Collective, discussed the systematic rape of women and girls in Haiti as survivors remain abandoned by an ineffective justice system.

[MADRE @MADREspeaks]

43 years ago, MADRE’s founders saw firsthand the deep connections between injustice at home in the US and in Nicaragua on mothers, children, and communities, which fueled the commitment to address the impact of and pushback against harmful global institutions and policies.

Many victims & survivors in #Haiti do not report #CRSV due to fear of reprisal and lack of safe & accessible reporting mechanisms, Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC. Attacks on health facilities hinder access to #SRH services including post-rape care and safe abortion.

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC that women-led groups are working to build lasting solutions for #Haiti: “Despite extreme challenges, these groups are bringing communities together not only to meet immediate needs but also to build lasting solutions shaped by Haitians for Haiti.”

[NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security @ngowgwps]

Carine Jocelyn tells the #UNSC that harassment and threats keep many women in #Haiti from voting or running for office.

With our July must-reads, learn from a wide range of global voices who present, question, and reimagine the experiences people face in oppressive systems, and how we can join movements to work against them and challenge US-centric narratives of collective freedom.

[MADRE @MADREspeaks]

Today, the US celebrates its 250th anniversary, yet its legacy continues to attack domestic and international autonomy, rights, and independence, posing the question: Who truly gets to be free when the US controls and defines the narrative?
