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.
Our values and commitment to safeguarding are critical.

Values and Diversity
To do that:
* We need to dismantle the unequal power structures that exist everywhere, including Oxfam and the wider development and charity sectors.
* We need an inclusive Oxfam where everyone can bring who they are to our work and feels celebrated for the differences they bring.
* We want and need everyone, and that means we need you.
