MADRE Home

MADRE partners with grassroots women on the frontlines of war and disaster. Together, we meet urgent needs and create lasting change.

 

We Partner for Social Change

MADRE partners with grassroots women's groups facing war, disaster and their aftermath. Together, we meet urgent needs and build women's capacity to create positive social change.

We Advocate for Human Rights

MADRE applies the tools of human rights advocacy to create social change with our partners. We make international law accountable to the people it's meant to serve.

A door to hope has just opened wide. It’s the door to our new shelter and rape crisis center in northern Iraq for women and girls who escaped ISIS. Now, we need you.

Step inside the doors to our new shelter and learn about how you can help changes lives.

There is a crisis-level need for shelter in Iraq. So why does the Iraqi government maintain a policy that blocks this critical need? Read this article that explains more.

 

With you and with MADRE, our grassroots partners protect and provide for the most vulnerable. They build new skills and grow as community leaders. And they bring their demands to policymakers and advocate for rights, resources and results.
