The EU office of ActionAid: making the voices of people living in poverty heard by policymakers in Brussels, from a feminist, Southern-led lens.

Focused on #climate, #fairfinance, #genderequality, and #migrantrights.
Today, on International Migrants Day, we join over 40 NGOs across Europe in calling for a just, dignified and anti-racist approach to migration governance in Europe. We demand a decisive shift: from criminalisation to solidarity and from racialised control to rights and dignity.

Dear Santa… the EU needs help!

🎅 We sent Santa a letter🎅

It starts with school bullies and somehow lands on EU policy-making. #Omnibus #CSDDD #COP30

And honestly… it wasn’t even a stretch.

CSOs is fighting back and Santa will be on our side.

Ever heard of cheesing?* 🧀

It's the perfect way to describe the game that's played by decisionmakers to destroy environmental & human rights protections:

1. Cheap tricks
2. Unfair
3. Overly easy

Watch & let us know who you nominate for BIGGEST cheese⁉️

🚨 EU negotiators have reached a political agreement on Omnibus I.

If approved, Omnibus I would weaken the duties big companies have to identify and address risks in their supply chains, risks that fall hardest on workers, small suppliers and frontline communities.

Over the last days, people across the EU filled the streets to call for an end to violence against women.

According to the EIGE 2025 Gender Equality Index, domestic violence remains widespread and underreported across the EU – a reminder of why our voices and actions matter.

Despite its rhetoric, the #EU is undermining multilateral processes aiming to democratise & improve global economic governance. This hypocrisy was evident last week when it again opposed a UN intergovernmental process on #debt architecture. Read our OpEd: euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, ActionAid is raising an important message: fund #feminist futures now.

From Malawi to Ukraine, feminist activists are calling for one thing: long-term, flexible, and accessible funding for women’s rights organisations.

Fossil fuels grabbed the spotlight at #COP30, while the conditions to phase them out – rich countries moving first and backing others – were sidelined.

That’s how climate ambition is turned against those who did least to cause the crisis, and the Paris Agreement is weakened.

At #COP30 the EU poses as champion of a #fossilfuel fuel phase-out.

But it doesn’t need others to move first: it funds it, burns it, banks the profits, then points the finger South.

That’s not climate ambition – it’s demagoguery.

Our new joint statement urges leaders to centre equality, just trade, climate justice and debt reform, not profit or extractivism.

🚨 In the final days of #COP30, we need to be very clear:

📣A just transition away from fossil fuels needs public money, and rich countries need to pay their fair share 📣

The COP30 presidency risks derailing the entire negotiations by saying otherwise.

#COP30 ends 3yrs of talks to align 💸 flows with climate goals (Article 2.1c). But 💰 is still going to fossil fuels. Will COP30 be the turning point?

Week two at #COP30, the EU is asking everyone to step up climate action.

But if it won’t step up on fairness – more support for those who did least to cause the crisis – its calls will ring hollow.

No fair share, no real Paris ambition.

🌎 “It’s game on for just transition!”

At #COP30 in Belém, the G77 + China have united to call for a new global mechanism to deliver on just transition, a powerful moment for climate justice.

ActionAid’s new report shows just 3% of climate finance supports just transition. It is time for change.

Today the European Parliament approved its Omnibus I mandate, weakening #CSDDD.

By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term corporate profit.
