Oxfam Canada is a global movement for change – a network that empowers individuals, communities and organizations to build a future free from the injustice of poverty where the rights of women and girls are promoted and respected. Oxfam works with over 100 partner organizations in developing countries; tackling the root causes of poverty and inequity.

Oxfam has three main areas of focus:

• Development work, which lifts communities out of poverty with long-term, sustainable solutions based on their needs
• Humanitarian work, assisting those immediately affected by conflict and natural disasters
• Advocacy and campaigning, trying to affect policy decisions on the causes of conflict at local, national, and international levels.
