We are part of a global movement, campaigning for economic, gender and climate justice – for change that lasts. Oxfam in Asia fights inequality to end poverty and injustice – now and for the long term. We believe all lives are equal. No one should be discriminated against or live in poverty. We want a world in which everyone can safely speak truth to power, claim their human rights, and build a better future for themselves. We work with alliances, networks and organizations in the Asia region to advocate for just and fairer economies. We challenge patriarchal systems that push the burden of care work on women and girls. We campaign for climate justice, for sustainable food systems, and for the rights of those who make our food, clothes and products that we enjoy. We strive to create safe spaces that allow people to hold the powerful into account.
To build a future where poverty is defeated, injustices ended and everyone can enjoy the rights to food, water, shelter, healthcare and education.
A just world without poverty.
Oxfam in Asia commits to living our values. We understand that how we work is as important as what we work on. We are guided by the following values in our influencing work and partnerships.
