Tackling climate change

The decrease of emissions is simply one aspect of climate change mitigation at this point. The issue of climate change also raises the topic of equality, as well as the fact that the countries and people that have contributed the least to the creation of this crisis are going to bear a disproportionate amount of the bad consequences.

These places are particularly susceptible because they are confronted with issues such as rising sea levels, an increase in the severity and frequency of natural catastrophes, and a lack of food security. In addition to this, they are unable to gather the necessary resources in order to appropriately handle climate change difficulties.

The aim of Oxfam to make sure that the voices of those who are experiencing the most severe effects of climate change are heard and that the resources that are available to assist them in not only surviving but also thriving in the face of an uncertain future are made available to them. It is possible to develop communities that are robust and economically stable, ready to meet future climatic problems, and, as a result, create a better world for future generations.

Oxfam invites you to join them in their battle against climate change. Engage in immediate action to provide assistance to vulnerable communities in the process of constructing resilient futures; by working together, they can combat the climate crisis and create a society that is more sustainable and equitable.

Women’s rights and gender justice

Recognising that women – especially poor women – have the power to drive change, Oxfam places gender justice and women’s rights at the heart of their mission. Oxfam empowers women to lead change and fight for policies and laws that limit them by advocating for equal wages, job safety, and a means to be heard. Oxfam aims at ensuring women’s safety, fulfilling their needs and demanding gender-sensitive approaches to disaster relief to enable disaster relief in a way that is distinct for women. 

Apart from ensuring that women’s basic needs are met in situations of conflict, natural disasters, violence or other forms of injustice, Oxfam empowers women economically by availing capital, seeds, tools and other necessities that women need to begin and sustain their businesses. To address the issue of inequality, Oxfam stands with women and funds women’s organizations at the base, and reallocate funds to women who are excluded, including Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, queer, trans, and migrant women.

 It is women who are the real agents of change in this world and you can assist Oxfam amplify women’s voices through campaigning, volunteering or giving. If they join hands, they can build a society where male and female are equal and the women’s rights are respected.

Poverty and inequality

Global issues like Poverty and Inequality are actually on the rise together, and rising inequality is pushing more people into poverty. Poverty and Inequality are both on the rise, side by side. Oxfam is an organisation that has a clear vision of the society that is fair and equal and not just a concept. In other words, the concept as such that there is nothing for everyone or that one has to choose between helping ‘us’ or ‘them’ is not true at all. 

What is the source of Poverty and Inequality, the structures that create and maintain the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of few people, forcing millions of people to fend for themselves? To this end, Oxfam calls for the dismantling of these unjust structures, so that people can access basic needs such as education, health, and a wage that can make a life. Oxfam are of the opinion that as one they are capable of changing the current status and create a society where everyone regardless of his or her background is given an opportunity to succeed.
