Oxfam's work in India in depth

Campaign priorities

Make Trade Fair

The Make Trade Fair campaign is the cornerstone of Oxfam India's livelihoods programme.

We believe that trade can be a powerful engine of economic growth in developing countries if the rules are not rigged in favour of rich nations. In India the campaign focuses on food security and livelihoods concerns in agricultural commodities; TRIPS and public heath; and the nature of employment in the unorganised sector.

The Campaign to End Violence against Women

The Campaign to End Violence Against Women (CEVAW) is pivotal to Oxfam India's Gender Equality programme.

CEVAW, to be launched soon, will strengthen Oxfam's and its partners' efforts to end violence against women in India. It will focus on changing attitudes, behaviours and practices of men and women that justify and perpetuate violence. Oxfam will work with civil society groups and build on its grassroots work and experiences across the country. CEVAW is poised to unfold across five countries in South Asia to highlight different manifestations of violence.
