Notes to editors:

Inequality is central to Oxfam’s mission to fight poverty. Vietnam is one of more than 40 countries where Oxfam is developing a national inequality campaign. The inequality campaign in Vietnam will run from 2016 to 2019. Oxfam promotes public debate on the need to combat extreme inequalities, raising public awareness and contributing to the formulation of policies that address this issue. In particular, the campaign focuses on the state budget and national tax system, looking at how fair and effective collection of revenue and spending of the state budget can help finance high-quality and equitable public services. The Even it Up campaign in Vietnam also addresses gender inequality and promotes women’s leadership, linking with other projects of Oxfam in Vietnam.

 

Oxfam is an international confederation of 18 organizations networked together over 90 countries, as part of a global movement for change, to build a future free from the injustice of poverty. In Vietnam, Oxfam is recognized as one of the leading international rights-based non-government organisation, in the areas of good governance & civil society, women’s empowerment, building resilience & humanitarian response, sustainable and fair sharing of natural resources; and, active citizenship.
