Who We Are

Voices of the Global South, Actions for the World

UNA Global South is more than an initiative, it is a people-powered movement born out of urgency, vision, and lived experience. We exist to confront injustice, not just manage it. In a world increasingly fractured by war, the existence of nuclear weapons , bio weapon inequality, displacement, and climate crisis, we work to re-center the voices of the Global South in shaping sustainable futures — not as beneficiaries, but as architects of change.

As a legally recognized and independently governed branch of UNA-UK, we amplify the leadership, agency, and rights of communities across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and diaspora populations worldwide. We bring together refugee families, youth leaders, frontline women, and grassroots changemakers — united by the belief that development must be inclusive, decolonial, and led by those closest to its consequences.

Inspired by the legacy of bold leaders and grounded in the UN’s Agenda 2030, our mission is clear: to dismantle barriers, empower the marginalized, and mobilize for systems rooted in dignity, equality, and justice. We don’t wait for permission. We act, we advocate, and we build with urgency and purpose.

WHAT WE DO

Building Justice Across Intersections

At UNA Global South, we work across eight interconnected areas that reflect the urgent realities and long-term hopes of the Global South. These are not isolated issues — they are deeply intertwined struggles rooted in inequality, exclusion, displacement, and systemic injustice.

Each area represents a pillar of survival, dignity, and future-building. From health access to land rights, from refugee youth leadership to literacy for inclusion — our work is shaped by the communities we serve and driven by a commitment to sustainable, people-led change.

Together, these focus areas offer a blueprint for transformation. They show what’s possible when power is shared, voices are heard, and justice is made practical.

Rooted in Sustainability

Change happens through collaboration with global, local, and grassroots partners for impactful solutions.
