The Changemakers team explore the contentious issue of LGBTQ+ rights in the Southern US state of Alabama, where the most anti-trans laws in the country were recently passed, directly affecting young people's rights to self-determination.

In Denmark, Syrian women are fighting back as they contend with some of the harshest immigration policies in the EU. Haya fled her old life for a new start in the west, but despite talk of a warm welcome, government policy has dictated otherwise.

The Changemakers explore the water poverty and plastic pollution crisis facing Ghana. Despite having one of the fastest growing economies in Africa, nearly one in ten Ghanaians spends 30 minutes a day getting water.

The Changemakers tackle the stigma around mental health in Lithuania, the country with the highest suicide rate in Europe. In Lithuania, men are three times as likely to kill themselves as women. But far less likely to seek professional help.

Our Changemakers draw on their experience along with the experiences of the activists they have travelled to meet throughout the series to give their five key principles on how someone can start to make a difference.
