the AIDS Campaign
While the scope and damage of the AIDS pandemic in Africa appalls caring people and humbles institutions the world over, while the World Health Organization declares AIDS a global health emergency and launches a massive initiative to distribute antiretroviral drugs, ordinary people in sub-Saharan Africa cope with the virus and its consequences.

About the Land & Housing Campaign
In spite of progress in policy and practice worldwide, grassroots women’s ability to control, own, develop, manage and use land and housing is impaired by poverty, discriminatory laws and customs. These constraints jeopardize a family’s income, food, water, sanitation, physical and emotional security and, ultimately, political participation. Learn more>

About the Peace Building Campaign
The international community turns more and more attention to creating “cultures of peace.” Since grassroots women, particularly as mothers and homemakers, are culture carriers, their voices are crucial to a full assessment of their community’s heritage, evaluation of its needs and development of a peace culture.

About Huairou Grassroot
Women Campaigns
Huairou campaigns emerge out of the stated concerns of grassroots
women. Thus, when Indian women began organizing after the
1993 earthquake in Maharasthra, it was a local issue; ten years
later, however, a grassroots recovery strategy emerged from their
work and had been tested in four zones. The issue, analyzed
cross-culturally, demanded campaign status.
Women in sub-Saharan African recently realized that the impact of AIDS affected all their work so powerfully - whether governance, land or housing - that the issue had to be elevated to the level of a campaign. Huairou campaigns are demand driven.
They will evolve with the needs and experience of member organizations.
