War on Want is a dynamic organisation working in the UK and with partners around the world to fight poverty and defend human rights, as part of the movement for global justice. We believe a better world is possible. A world in which everyone lives a dignified life free from repression, injustice and climate disaster. Poverty is political: the most effective way to end it is by taking collective action to challenge deep rooted structures of inequality and injustice.

War on Want campaigns in the UK to challenge human rights abusing corporations and governments, and hold those responsible for inequality and poverty to account. We publish in-depth research exposing injustice and human rights abuse globally. We work in partnership with grassroots groups, trade unions and workers’ organisations in the Global South. We stand in solidarity with movements fighting for their rights around the world.
