CONFLICTS AND DISASTERS

Every year since 2008, the world has become less peaceful. From climate-related
disasters to long-lasting conflicts and insecurity, we witnessed a rise in the
scale and frequency of humanitarian crises, increasing the number of vulnerable
people, displaced, at risk or in need of assistance.

In Syria, Yemen or South Sudan, conflicts continue to threaten and destroy the
lives of millions of women, men and children, trapping them in a vicious cycle
of violence, poverty and inequality. Hunger is again on the rise, reversing
years of progress.

The number of climate-related disasters has tripled in 30 years, causing harm
and suffering to communities across the globe. By the 2030s, large parts of
Southern, Eastern and the Horn of Africa and South and East Asia will experience
greater exposure to droughts, floods and tropical storms.


LET'S LOOK AT THE NUMBERS

Overall, more than 132 million people across the world need humanitarian
assistance and protection.

One-third of the world’s poor live in fragile and conflict-affected countries.
By 2030, this share is likely to grow to one-half.

In 2019 the number of people who have been forced from their homes by war and
persecution reached 68 million –  the highest number since World War II.

The number of people going hungry worldwide is growing, reaching 690 million in
2019.

An Oxfam’s analysis shows that, on average, 14 million people were reported
newly displaced by extreme weather disasters each year over the period
2008-2016.


DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY AID: OXFAM'S RESPONSE

Oxfam has a long and well-recognized record of humanitarian relief in times of
crisis. When disaster strikes, we respond - delivering high quality lifesaving
assistance and essential protection to the most affected. We make sure people
can get clean water to drink and decent sanitation. We provide help for them to
get food and the essentials they need to survive, and we work with people on the
journey to self-sufficiency.

Through our long-term development programs, we stay well after the dust has
settled to help rebuild communities to come back stronger from disaster and
support them in being better prepared to cope with shocks and uncertainties.


BUILDING RESILIENCE AND LOCAL CAPACITY

The scale and nature of these humanitarian crises have led us to put more
emphasis on building the resilience of affected populations and increasing
national and local response capacity and ownership. We recognize that local
responders are often the best placed to help in emergencies, and we work with
governments, local organizations and communities so that they are ready to
respond in emergencies, and able to cope when crisis hits.


SUPPORTING WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND GENDER JUSTICE

In all our responses, we prioritize the needs of women and girls, who are often
discriminated against or have fewer resources to face and recover from
emergencies. We promote the safe and accessible use of our humanitarian programs
by women and girls, and support women's organizations to lead in emergency
preparedness, risk reduction and response.


CAMPAIGNING AND INFLUENCING OTHERS

The goal of our campaigning is not just to speak for people in need, but to open
the way for them to speak for themselves. A key part of our humanitarian work is
campaigning and using our influence to make sure women, men  and children are
provided the assistance they need and have their rights respected. We also seek
to address and ultimately remedy the political and structural root causes of
their vulnerability.

“TRANSFORMING POWER”, HOW TO ENSURE THAT WOMEN ARE AT THE HEART OF THE
PEACE-BUILDING BY IMPLEMENTING A FEMINIST PEACE AND SECURITY AGENDA

Blog by Fionna Smyth

What if, just for one day, guns in wars zones across the world fell silent? That
is the goal of Peace Day; every year on 21st September, people come together all
round the world to build a culture of peace and demand that all armed parties
observe a 24-hour ceasefire. This year there is added urgency, 2020 has been a
year like no other and we desperately need an end to conflict so that we can
focus on our common enemy of the pandemic.


AN UNEQUAL RESPONSIBILITY: WHICH COUNTRIES TAKE IN THE MOST REFUGEES?

Every day, hundred of thousands of people are forced to flee to escape war,
violence, famine and disasters. Yet many governments have turned their backs,
and are not taking anything close to their fair share of responsibility. Find on
our interactive map where are the vast majority of refugees worlwide and take
action now.


HOW THE WORLD SHOULD RESPOND TO HUMANITARIAN CRISES

From Syria to South Sudan, the lives of more than 125 million people around the
world have been devastated by conflict or disaster. It is time for the
international community to change how it provides humanitarian aid to these
vulnerable populations.

TOP FIVE ARMS EXPORTERS HIT YEARLY SALES OF $85 BILLION AS 9,000 PEOPLE DIE FROM
CONFLICT-DRIVEN HUNGER EVERY DAY

The world spent yearly an estimated $112 billion on arms imports between
2018-2022, even as 9,000 people die each day from hunger driven primarily by
conflict. The top five-arms exporters – the USA, Russia, France, China and
Germany - which account for over three-quarters of the global arms trade,
together sold an estimated $85 billion worth of arms yearly.  


OXFAM SUPPORTS PARTNERS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN RESPONDING TO CIANJUR EARTHQUAKE
IN INDONESIA

OXFAM REACTION TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRENCH AND EUROPEAN TROOPS FROM MALI

In response to the announcement of the withdrawal of the Barkhane military
operation and the Takuba forces from Mali, Oxfam's West Africa Regional
Director, Assalama Dawalack Sidi said: "The withdrawal is a terrible admission
of failure. Nearly ten years of military operations in the country have solved
nothing as much of the Central Sahel continues to be plagued by conflict."

TRANSFORMING POWER TO PUT WOMEN AT THE HEART OF PEACEBUILDING

The twentieth anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) is in
October 2020. It is a landmark resolution on women’s role in peacebuilding, but
progress on women’s rights and leadership in peace and security decision making
continues to fall short.


WOMEN IN CONFLICT ZONES

No-one can escape the devastating grip of war. For women, it can mark a point of
no return. But it can also be a door to new opportunities. Through examples from
Iraq, the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Yemen, this report analyses the
impact war and occupation have had on the lives of women.
