Your Impact in 2021-2022

Posted on 11th August 2022

Your Impact in 2021-2022

We are thrilled to share our Impact Report from 2021 to 2022 with you. It was another difficult year for women and girls around the world. In 2021, the fallout of the global pandemic continued to hit women hard; the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan stripped women and girls of their basic human rights; and the ongoing horror of violence against women stalked our villages, homes, and neighbourhoods.

Your support and solidarity brought funding, resources, skills, and sanctuary, to some of the most vulnerable and marginalised women in need. Together we lobbied for change at critical global moments and fought to ensure millions of garment workers, 80% of whom are women, receive a living wage.

Highlights of our year include:  

  • Over £400,000 raised to support women and girls around the world
  • The Circle’s second global emergency appeal raised vital funds for Afghan women and girls.
  • The publication of our ground-breaking report, Fashion Focus: A proposal for New EU Legislation on a Living Wage, which proposed new legislation that would economically empower women globally.
  • We welcomed inspiring new women-led, grassroots project partners working on the ground to transform lives in Sri Lanka, Uganda, and the UK.
  • Support from a record number of donors, and volunteers who gave their time and skills for free, continuing to build our Circle community of global feminist change-makers.

We are proud to be on a path to empowering more women and girls. As a growing organisation, we are entirely funded by our supporters. We are grateful for every single gift – large and small – and we ensure they make a difference to women and girls across the world. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our work.
Together we are stronger.

Raakhi Shah, CEO The Circle
