About uss

Oxfam India is a movement of people working to end discrimination and create a free and just society.

All lives are equal, and no one should face discrimination in realizing their rights. We believe the time to act is now.

WHY WE ARE HERE

Oxfam India believes in the power of people. We work with communities, local partners and supporters to fight discrimination with a feminist lens through three approaches.

ACTION ON GROUND

Working with communities:

We work with Dalits, Adivasis, Muslims, Women and Informal Sector Workers to find solutions to deep-rooted social and economic inequalities and support them in their fight against discrimination.

Saving & Rebuilding Lives:

When a crisis or disaster occurs, people’s lives are changed in an instance. Changing weather patterns, climate emergency and rising political tensions are forcing people out of their homes in search of safe places. We work on-ground to provide those affected and the most vulnerable shelter, clean water and food, access to clean toilets and livelihood Support

KNOWLEDGE BUILDING

Rising instances of discrimination, growing inequality, unprecedented climate conditions, and greater uncertainty are new and require new knowledge and ways of working. We study, research and dig deep to find solid evidence which can help governance systems take inclusive policy decisions that address current risks so that poor and vulnerable people can realize their rights despite shocks, stresses and uncertainty.

PUBLIC CAMPAIGNING

Marginalized communities can gain control over their own lives by exercising their right to political participation, freedom of expression and information, freedom of assembly and access to justice. We support movements of Dalits, Muslims, Adivasis, and women and girls. We amplify their voices by engaging with active citizens to support their demands for equality and accountability from those in power.

OUR COMMITMENT

We are committed to the people, both who we work with and our supporters.

Oxfam India believes in the power of people coming together for Justice and Equality.

In our 70-year history, we have seen that, when people join hands, raise their voice and demand action, change happens. We are committed to the power of people to fight discrimination and help marginalized communities pull themselves out of inequality and injustice. Therefore, our work and organization is based in the communities that are most affected, so that we can deliver change quickly and with impact.

Oxfam India uniquely combines the power of public and the learnings from grassroots with the strength of supporters, partners and allies to make a positive impact in the lives of millions of people.

From supporting women farmers in Bihar to demanding good quality education for children in Uttar Pradesh, from mobilizing public support in Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad to delivering life-saving aid in Assam and Manipur, we strive to ensure that the most marginalized people are heard.

As India’s leading movement against discrimination, we will not rest until everyone in our country can live in a fairer, equal society, and leave injustice and discrimination behind forever.

OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

We are committed to the people, both who we work with and our supporters.

Our vision is a just and discrimination-free India. Oxfam India will always be there in times of crisis and injustice to fight the inequalities and discrimination affecting the lives of millions of Indians.

Over the next five years, we will help many more people from socially and economically excluded groups (Dalits, Adivasis, Muslims, and Informal Sector Workers), and especially women in exercising their right to live a life of dignity and free from discrimination.

And we cannot do it without your support. We need more voices to join us in speaking truth to power so that we can influence the policies and attitudes that will fight discrimination across the nation.
