I have now joint another organisation as they deal with many issues regarding not just Zimbabwe but many countries in Southern Africa.Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA) is the successor organisation to the Anti-Apartheid Movement. Since 1994 ACTSA has been campaigning with the people of southern Africa as they strive to build a better future, working for peace, democracy and development across the region.
With the help of our members, ACTSA influences decision-makers in Britain and Europe on policies that affect southern Africa. It keeps the region in the public and political spotlight through lobbying, publication of reports and media work. ACTSA also inspires change and humanitarian relief through direct action in the southern African region.
ACTSA is a democratic not-for-profit organisation funded by its members and supporters. Individual members and affiliated trade unions, union branches and local groups shape our agenda and lead our campaigns. ACTSA is governed by a constitution and set of standing orders.
ACTSA has been campaigning with the people of southern Africa for over a decade. They rely on people to support their campaigns, in order that they have the maximum impact. Even small individual actions, like signing an action card or petition, can make a real difference. It really couldn't be easier to show your solidarity with the people of southern Africa.
ACTSA deals with a lot of Campaigns,HIV/Aids, Trade Justice, Peace & Democracy, Gender & the Advancement of Women.
One of the campaign’s is Dignity!Period for Zimbabwe.
A pack of sanitary towels in Zimbabwe can cost more than double the average monthly wage. As a result, many women are forced to use newspapers and dirty rags, a practice which leads to infections, for which there is little available medication. Worse still, these infections are often misconstrued as STIs, leading to social embarrassment and domestic violence.
Through lack of affordable sanitary protection, women in Zimbabwe are losing their dignity with every period. But now you can help us to give it back.
