One World Action is a partnership between poor and exploited
people in the South and those who share their vision of a better, more equal
world. One World Action works with organisations who have a f rm belief in
democracy and equality linked with a respect for human rights and freedoms.
Priority is given to trying to influence and change policies and practices in
the North that perpetuate or cause poverty and inequality in the South.
Promoting and strengthening more participatory democracy and especially greater
active involvement of women internationally, nationally, and locally, linked to
lobbying for European policies and practices that support and facilitate this,
is a central focus of the work of One World
Action.
