We were formed out of the very heart of the Anti-Apartheid Movement after the first South African elections in 1994, and continue to use that same passion in all our work today. We take a comprehensive approach to development so our campaigns cover a broad range of issues and concerns, guided by our vision to see a free and fair southern Africa. We have: Delivered over 6 million sanitary products to women in Zimbabwe since October 2005 as part of our Dignity!Period Campaign Helped secure a settlement of £7.5 million to the asbestos sufferers working for British company Cape Plc, after a lengthy public campaign Played an active role in the Kimberley negotiations, weeding out illegal diamonds from all future international trade, after helping expose their role in funding the Angolan Civil War Successfully supported Zambian civil society by targeting British based company Vendanta Resources; securing fairer tax deals from the Zambian government and an additional $415 million dollars in 2008 alone Continued to press the EU to promote a pro-development trade policy and to renegotiate the EPAs made with southern African states Launched Africa Matters campaign forging links between UK Trades Unions and in southern Africa, as hosted by Gordon Brown, the Scottish Parliament and the National Assembly for Wales Held a number of conferences and delegations to ensure the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, Malaria and tuberculosis receives the necessary financial support For examples of our current work please take a look at our current campaigns.
