A global movement of people who won't live with poverty.
About us
Oxfam is a vibrant global movement of dedicated people fighting poverty - together. Oxfam fights poverty in three ways: Campaigning, Development and Emergency Response. Campaigning for change: Poverty isn’t just about lack of resources. In a wealthy world it’s about bad decisions made by powerful people. Oxfam campaigns hard, putting pressure on leaders for real lasting change. Development work: Poor people can take control, solve their own problems, and rely on themselves – with the right support. Fighting poverty, we fund long-term work worldwide. Emergency response: People need help in an emergency – fast. We save lives, swiftly delivering aid, support and protection; and we help people prepare for future crises. Oxfam also has around 670 shops in the UK and an online shop selling over 100,000 volunteer-listed second-hand clothes, books, music and collectables, plus Fairtrade and ethical gifts: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop Interested in working for Oxfam?

🚨 WATER WAR CRIMES IN GAZA: Our latest report finds that Israel’s cutting of external water supplies, systematic destruction of water facilities and deliberate obstruction of aid have reduced the amount of water available in Gaza by 94%. 💧 People are surviving on just 4.74 litres of water per day – just under a third of the recommended minimum for survival in emergencies and less than a single toilet flush. 🚰 Israel has destroyed 100 per cent of all wastewater treatment plants and 70 per cent of all sewage pumps. ⚠️Israeli military attacks have damaged or destroyed five water and sanitation infrastructure sites every three days since the start of the war. 🔎 Read the full report, ‘How #Israel has weaponised water in its military campaign in Gaza,’ via the link in our Press Release: bit.ly/WaterWarCrimes_ Halima Begum, Oxfam GB Chief Executive: “Now is the time for a reset on UK policy concerning Gaza. We implore the new UK Government to look at all the evidence and question whether it is morally or legally right to allow arms sales to Israel to continue in the face of such atrocities. Ending arms sales is one step towards helping secure a ceasefire, and to allow a full and unfettered humanitarian response including provision of life-saving water supplies, as well as the safe release of all hostages.” Join us and demand the UK #StopArmingIsrael: ➡ bit.ly/StopArming_Israel #CeasefireNOW

Hang on – is gender equality an untapped solution to climate change? 🤔 Welcome to the first episode of Climate+, our brand new series exploring the intersectionality of climate change and social justice in collaboration with Earthrise Studio We know that climate change – like many other things in this world – disproportionately impacts women, and that’s what we’re discussing in episode one. Women are often the backbone of communities across the world, yet when it comes to decision-making and negotiations on climate they’re often denied a seat at the table. That’s why climate activists like Joyce Koech, who we speak to in this episode, are fighting to ensure that girls have access to a quality education and to make this a key part of the climate conversation. Let us know what you think of this episode and tag a woman you admire in the climate space in the comments! 💬 #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GenderEquality #WomensRights
