Oxfam is a global organization that fights inequality to end poverty and injustice. We offer lifesaving support in times of crisis and advocate for economic justice, gender equality, and climate action. We demand equal rights and equal treatment so that everyone can thrive, not just survive. The future is equal.
In the last decades, Oxfam America has placed increased emphasis on engaging the private sector due to its significant power in shaping people’s ability to enjoy their rights. Influencing the policies and practices of the private sector is thus a key component of Oxfam’s organizational goal of promoting rights and tackling unequal power relations that prevent people from escaping poverty and social injustice.
