Oxfam France is a non-profit organization (governed by the French law of 1901) committed to a fairer world by fighting the root causes of poverty and inequality, violence, and by upholding the fundamental human rights of everyone. The organization conducts citizen mobilization campaigns and lobbyes political leaders. <\/p> \n \n
Oxfam France is part of the international Oxfam confederation, which comprises 21 affiliates working in more than 60 countries. This confederation is recognized for its emergency aid interventions and the implementation of long-term development programs, particularly in access to drinking water, sanitation, and food. <\/p> \n \n
Oxfam France has more than 500 volunteers who are involved daily in our local groups and solidarity shops.<\/p> \n \n
Did you know that the richest 1% of people on the planet own as much wealth as the rest of humanity? Or that the richest 10% of the planet are responsible for more than half of global greenhouse gas emissions without necessarily suffering the consequences? <\/p> \n \n
To effectively combat poverty, Oxfam does more than simply provide support to the most vulnerable. It also produces in-depth analyses to explain the factors that contribute to these inequalities (taxation, wealth distribution, climate change, etc.). Long-term solutions are then proposed and advocated for with policymakers. <\/p> \n \n
