Through its work, Empathy Action gives participants the opportunity, albeit symbolically, to step into the shoes of those who battle global deprivation, poverty and oppression. Its ambition is that by taking these steps of understanding and empathy with others, it will help swell the movement for change. Building a community of people with compassion and purpose who will sustain pressure on the governments to fulfill the pledges they have made in Istanbul. Empathy Action pledges to commit all our endeavours to build in the hearts and minds of those we work with greater compassion for those affected by war, poverty, injustice, and the impact of the changing climate. We pledge to steward people's hearts and exercise our influence to transform our world, build up broken communities and share responsibility for humanity. We believe that the actions that flow from this will help to bring about the movement for change that we long for and wish to be part of, and that is desperately needed to address the humanitarian crisis blighting our world.
