The Challenge

One in three women will experience intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. The Salvation Army is working with communities around the world to bring an end to violence against women and girls and support survivors.

1 in 3 equates to 33.3%. Inspired by this statistic, Liz and Hayley walked 33.3km across 13 of London's bridges to raise money for the Helping-Hand Appeal. Thank you for donating this important cause!

Helping-Hand 2022: Gender Justice

The focus of this year's Helping-Hand Appeal is Gender Justice. We believe that women, both at home and in society, should not only be able to exist safely but have the freedom to flourish. Globally, The Salvation Army is journeying alongside women; supporting them to know their rights and encouraging them to take their place as equal and active members of society. We are taking a stand for women and girls, to see gender justice a reality across the globe. 

How Can I Help?

• £10 could provide functional education classes for women in Bangladesh so they understand their rights and can protect themselves from exploitation.
• £25 could buy materials for Tres Arroyos Salvation Army's learning through play sessions for children who are exposed to violence at home.
• £60 could set up eight child marriage prevention committees in Bangladesh, helping to challenge this practice which violates girls human rights.
