About Avaaz

Avaaz is a global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere. Avaaz—meaning "voice" in several European, Middle Eastern and Asian languages—launched in 2007 with a simple democratic mission: organize citizens of all nations to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want. The Avaaz community campaigns in 17 languages, served by a core team on 6 continents and thousands of volunteers. We take action -- signing petitions, funding media campaigns and direct actions, emailing, calling and lobbying governments, and organizing "offline" protests and events -- to ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform the decisions that affect us all. Any questions or concerns please message us on our contact us form: https://avaaz-docs-en.helpscoutdocs.com

Helping me Support women of the world A great nonprofit organisation that speaks out and highlights the need for improving women’s rights particularly in countries most affected by drought. This problem also identified by the UN but Avaaz allows individuals like me to be involved. Really like the way this platform only contacts me about issues i’ve expressed an interest in.

"Secure" avaaz sells our email adresses to third parties!!! Used to sign petitions in "secure" avaaz, but my email box is now full of SPAM every day, starting from sexual email to all kinds of phishing and scams. I never gave permition for my email adress to be distributed. "Secure" Avaaz sells email adresses, and unsolicited emails from Meetic even come with a tittle: «through avaaz», which confirms where all the SPAM came from.

I think Avaaz potentially does good… I think Avaaz potentially does good work, but they seem to intentionally make it near impossible to contact them. They make it very easy to setup donations, but then now way to stop them. Their website, offers no contact information at all. Their help page say to click on the pink button below to contact us. There is no pink button. this it too big an organization to have such a poorly designed website if it is unintentional.

Once you give authorization for a… Once you give authorization for a monthly donation, there is no way to withdraw this, although they promise how simple that can be. The link to send an email to Avaaz never worked so you'll end up writing a letter (it's 2020 dammit) to stop this fraud.

So many funny reviews... It's so funny (and depressing) how many people here are calling Avaaz fake and coming up with all sort of crazy conspiracy theories. Just because their actions are not compatible with your nationalist or ideological framework doesn't mean they aren't doing good things. And not only good things, but things most people with empathy and common sense can and will agree with. They are not against particular countries or peoples but they do campaign against unethical practices and corrupt and draconian politics. That is important on every possible level. I do however agree that they send quite a lot of messages which is sometimes annoying. But that is a small price to pay for trying to make the world a better place.
