We are a global feminist organisation, founded by Annie Lennox and other leading women, supporting women and girls confronting gender-based violence and economic inequality across the world.

Over 300 million women and girls are living in extreme poverty and 1 in 3 women face violence in their lifetime. Together, we can help create a safer and fairer world for the most marginalised and vulnerable women and girls globally.

What we do: Millions of women across the world live in poverty and fear of violence and abuse. We work with grassroots organisations globally to support the most vulnerable women and girls confronting gender-based violence and economic inequality, through funding, advocacy and connection.

Who we support: We support women-led grassroots organisations across the world working on the frontlines in their communities. From South Sudan and Rwanda to Sri Lanka and DRC, we and our partners have a shared mission to push for economic empowerment and to end violence for women & girls globally.

About The Circle: Since 2008, The Circle has brought together global feminists to use their resources, networks and creativity to cultivate long lasting change in the fight against gender-based violence. Together with our partners, we work towards a future where there is equality and safety for the most vulnerable women and girls.
