Gender inequality is a powerful predictor of poverty and injustice in the U.S. and the world today. Discrimination, persecution, and violence against people based on their gender identity, race, or sexual orientation threaten the safety and dignity of millions of people in the US and around the world. LGBTQIA+ people of color, in particular, face some of the highest rates of marginalization in the world.
Guided by 11 feminist principles, Oxfam advocates for gender equality so that every person has the same chance at success. Your donation can help Oxfam further gender equality through:
• supporting women and girls to defend their economic rights, to influence more of the decisions that affect their lives, and to gain financial independence
• working with young people to challenge patriarchal attitudes that drive abuse and keep women and nonbinary people poor
• supporting men and boys to challenge harmful gender stereotypes, create greater balance in the sharing of household responsibilities and unpaid work, and promote nonviolence within families and communities
• campaigning for bold investments in care infrastructure to support women who depend on affordable childcare to work and provide for their families
• advocating for corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes to better fund social safety net programs and improve pay for care workers
• fighting for paid parental and sick leave policies that put parents of all genders on equal footing, unlocking economic potential and the building blocks of a more caring world
• advocating for equal pay for equal work so that women, particularly migrant women and women of color, are no longer undervalued and underpaid
Your donation can help achieve Oxfam’s mission to fight inequality to end poverty and injustice - and that starts with gender justice and rights for women.
