Guilt-free clothing

Hundreds of Bangladeshi women have been burned or crushed to death while making *our* clothes! In days, major fashion companies could sign an agreement for a strong building and fire safety pact. If 1 million of us get the CEOs of H&M and GAP to back a life-saving code, the rest will follow.

Monsanto vs. Mother Earth

It’s unbelievable, but Monsanto and Co. are at it again. These profit-hungry biotech companies have found a way to exclusively ‘own’ something that freely belongs to us all -- our food! But we can pressure key European countries to slam the patent door shut on their destructive plans. Sign now!

    A Maldives court has sentenced a 15-year-old rape victim to 100 lashes. Global outrage has already forced President Waheed to appeal – but let’s not stop there. Sign below to demand he ends the brutal practice of flogging altogether -- and changes the law to stop punishing victims of sexual abuse.

  • Photo Stand with the Maasai

    Within hours, Tanzania's President Kikwete could start evicting tens of thousands of the Maasai from our land so hunters can come and kill leopards and lions. Last time Avaaz raised the alarm, the President shelved the plan. Global pressure can stop him again, and we urgently need your help.

    Violent and abusive men often use their power to obstruct reforms that would protect women. Only a global, coordinated effort to make candidates like these pay at the polls can banish them from office. Avaaz will only collect donations only if we raise enough to win -- pledge to chip in now:
