Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.
That means we tackle the inequality that keeps people poor. Together we save, protect and rebuild lives. When disaster strikes, we help people build better lives for themselves, and for others. We take on issues like land rights, climate change and discrimination against women. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can enjoy life free from poverty.
We are an international confederation of 20 organizations (affiliates) working together with partners and local communities in the areas of humanitarian, development and campaigning, in more than 90 countries.
All our work is led by three core values:
Empowerment, Accountability, Inclusiveness.
In Tunisia, the threats to people living in poverty and to human rights are many, varied, and complex.
Oxfam’s vision for Tunisia is a country where citizens address socio- economic and gender inequalities within the context of a state that is responsive and transparent. Women, youth and vulnerable groups are the main change agents in projects related to governance of socio-economic policies both at local and national levels, space for civil society, gender justice and economic justice.
