Our Global Work
We are present in 45 countries, where we build communities that fight injustice, poverty and discrimination.
We have a wide range of projects in the Global South, where we collaborate with young activists in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Through our Global Platforms and our local partners we fight to strengthen human rights, combat poverty, promote democracy and secure emergency aid when disaster strikes.
In these three regions millions og people live in extreme poverty, inequality, and war. In recent years these areas also felt the consequences of the West's massive CO2 footprint.
In Denmark we seek to combat discrimination and achieve a fair refugee policy. We want Denmark to recognize the West's impact on climate changes, and we want a government that tackles the climate crises and keeps its international promises.
657.000 Rohingya-refugees supported by emergency aid and psychological aid
<h4>Since 2017 almost 1 million Rohingya have escaped killings, massive suppression and violence from the Rakhine state in Myanmar.</h4> Cox-Bazar in Bangladeshi is the largest refugee camp in the world. Here lives the Muslim minority Rohingya. Violence, forced marriage, and massive governmental suppression dominates their everyday lives. 600.000 Rohingya-refugees are still denied access to food, water and a roof over their heads.
We have established safe spaces for women and are present with emergency aid and psychological aid. Together with activist we have started the women-led team “WATCH” to prevent violence against women in Cox-Bazar.
Young people secure clean drinking water for their local community
<h4>61 years with oil extractions have sever climate consequences in Ibeno, Nigeria.</h4> Earth erosion, air- and water pollution. A ravaged fishing- and agriculture sector. Massive rises in poverty and marginalized people. These are the consequences of 61 years of oil extraction.
We are present in Ibeno, where we train young activist to fight for their rights. This has among other things resulted in 25 young people organising in a fight for clean drinking water. Their hard work led to water purifiers, and today their local community in Ibeno have clean drinking water.
Gardening project supports 2666 Afghani households
<h4>In the Jawzjan province of northern Afghanistan we are educating women and people with disabilities on how to farm.</h4> In Afghanistan it is difficult to make it on your own as a woman or as a person with a disability. That is why we have educated women and people with disabilities on how to farm. We provide the necessary tools, so that they can create their own home gardens.
The project gives people with disabilities and women the opportunity to earn an income and become self-sufficient.
Young people fight for democracy
<h4>We have created a youth-network with young people from Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.</h4> In Georgia violence and discrimination against women and LGBTQ+ persons and a lack of rights are an increasing problem. At the same time there is a need for political actions in the climate- and environmental sector.
But now equality, rights of freedom and a green future must be put on top of the agenda. This is the goal with our cross-kultur project, which aims to strengthen young people’s democratic participation and influence.
