Ep:2 Social Care in Wales

No time to read our brilliant paper?Listen instead to our fabulous podcast!Sarah Rees of Oxfam Cymru discusses all the themes of our paper and more with a variety of contributors and excellent guests.This six-part pod is well worth a listen and we hope will be just the start of deeper and longer conversations.A just transition must be feminist: tackling inequality at its roots, revaluing care as essential social infrastructure, and ensuring no one is left behind.Wales is facing a defining moment. With the climate emergency deepening, inequality widening, and public services under sustained pressure, it is clear that the current economic model is no longer fit for purpose. At Oxfam Cymru, we believe that poverty and inequality cannot be tackled in isolation from the fight for gender and climate justice. Across the world, those who contribute least to the climate crisis— particularly women, people living in poverty, and communities marginalised on the basis of gender, race, class, disability, or migration status — are the ones who bear its greatest costs. That is why Oxfam’s global strategy commits us to advancing feminist, decolonial alternatives that place care for people and planet at the heart of economic transformation.Enjoying the pod?
