Every day, thousands of aid workers risk their lives to help others – saving countless lives and offering people hope in the toughest of circumstances.
But record numbers of aid workers are being killed, with 2025 being one of the deadliest years ever for aid workers. World leaders are failing to hold those responsible to account, with most attacks never properly reported, investigated or prosecuted.
Preventing aid workers from doing their jobs is a death sentence – not only for them, but for people who depend on their support.
No one should have to go to work with a target on their back.
Add your name to stand with aid workers everywhere – demand that world leaders protect them, and hold those responsible for attacks to account.
