This year, One World Action is celebrating twenty years working to defeat poverty by promoting human rights and good democratic government. To mark this very special occasion, we are holding a unique birthday event -‘Looking Back, Moving Forward’ on Wednesday 11th November from 7pm in London.
One World Action President Glenys Kinnock will be speaking on the night alongside co-hosts Jennette Arnold, Deputy Chair of the Greater London Assembly and Ana María Encina, renowned Bolivian Human Rights Campaigner. The reception will be attended by a host of OWA’s partners and supporters including Emily Zikazwe, from Women for Change Zambia, Ruth Manorama from National Alliance of Women’s Organisations in India as well as our Vice President Sir Sigmund Sternberg and Patron Jon Snow.
Tickets are just £10 and include a free cocktail, canapés and the evening’s entertainment which will reflect the diversity of the individuals and communities we support around the globe, including music from fabulous latin and salsa band Los Musicos.
Join us on the night as we reflect on our past achievements and look to the challenges ahead while enjoying the company of old friends and new!

We’ve spent 20 years fighting for a just and equal world, breaking through barriers that exclude and marginalise people; prejudice, caste, corruption, perception, patriarchy, violence. We’ve made women’s rights central to development, prioritised collaboration and collective impact over our own “brand”, raised £40 million for our partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We’ve stuck to our core belief-- empowered people transform their own lives.
But sadly this isn’t a just and equal world yet for many of its citizens - so this year we want to ask you for something very specific.

Contribute to our £100,000 appeal to give us greater financial independence from government funding and enable us to support progressive projects long term.

Why now? Because to maintain and develop our independent, progressive agenda, with partners across the globe, we need to ride out the changing fashions of donor and government funding.
