Oxfam International: From Relief to Rights and Decolonization


Listen Later

The provided text offers a comprehensive historical overview of Oxfam International, tracing its evolution from a wartime relief committee in 1942 to a global confederation. It highlights several key transformations, including its shift from immediate aid to long-term development and a rights-based approach to poverty, and its structural growth into an international network. The document also addresses significant challenges, such as the 2018 safeguarding scandal, which prompted major internal reforms and a commitment to shifting power to the Global South with a decolonial and feminist lens. Ultimately, it portrays Oxfam as an organization continuously adapting its strategies, from innovative fundraising and global campaigns like "Make Trade Fair" to addressing intersecting crises of inequality, conflict, and climate change, while navigating the inherent tensions of being both an activist movement and a large professional institution.
