Extreme inequality is hurting us all - damaging economic growth, fuelling crime, and squandering the hopes and ambitions of billions who are trapped at the bottom with no way out.
Did you know that at least one in three women will experience some form of violence during their lifetime? It is one of the most widespread violations of human rights and has long-term devastating effects. It is time to say ‘enough is enough’. Join us.
We help people caught up in natural disasters and conflicts across the world with clean water, food, sanitation and protection. At any given time, we are responding to over 30 emergency situations, giving life-saving support to those most in need.
Millions of people are being forced from their homes, risking everything to escape conflict, disaster, poverty or hunger. From those fleeing the war in Syria or climate change-induced droughts, to those stranded in inadequate conditions in Europe, you can help us give life-saving support to refugees in the countries where they need it most.
With no end in sight to the conflict in Syria, hundreds of thousands of people are living in desperate conditions and exposed to continuing violence. Today, half the pre-conflict population of 22 million Syrians have fled their homes and more than 13 million people urgently need your help.

Discrimination against women and girls is both a cause and a consequence of poverty. Without collective action and broader social movements that endeavor to achieve equal rights, development and humanitarian goals will be unachievable. For Oxfam, this means ensuring that gender justice objectives are included in each of our strategic ‘Change Goals’.
Oxfam builds the capacity of women and men, boys and girls, to achieve the change that they want to see in the world. This involves challenging attitudes and beliefs at many different levels, especially in areas of ending violence against women and girls, and women’s economic empowerment and leadership. Here’s a snapshot of inspiring stories that show how Oxfam, together with partners and allies, is sharing and replicating initiatives that put gender justice at the heart of development and civil society.
