About
Oxfam India works to address root causes of poverty and inequality. We see
poverty as a problem where people are deprived of opportunities, choices,
resources, knowledge and protection. Poverty is something more than mere lack of
income, health and education. It is also people's frustration on being excluded
from decision-making. While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the
guiding framework under which Oxfam India functions, we also derive our mandate
from the Constitutional Rights promised to every citizen of the country.
Persistent poverty and inequality is not just a violation of basic human rights
of the people but it also undermines economic growth of a nation by wasting
talents and human resources. It leads to a skewed society where power and
decision-making remains in the hands of a few, leading to greater conflicts and
undermining social cohesion.
Oxfam seeks to address this through a Rights Based Approach where people are
seen as the bearers of civil, political and social and economic rights. At the
same time, institutions, both state and non-state, are seen as duty bearers to
guarantee and provide those rights to the people. It is also important to
underline that without augmenting people's ability to exercise them, the rights
would be meaningless.
