Keir Starmer David Lammy stronger action is needed NOW: The UK must suspend ALL arms exports to the Government of Israel & close loopholes for components in F-35 fighter jets. The UK will continue to provide vital parts for F-35 jets, despite their use by Israeli forces to bomb and kill civilians in Gaza. The UK’s legal commitments to uphold International Humanitarian Law are crystal clear – and only a full suspension of arms sales will meet them.

A global movement of people who won't live with poverty.
About us
Oxfam is a vibrant global movement of dedicated people fighting poverty - together. Oxfam fights poverty in three ways: Campaigning, Development and Emergency Response. Campaigning for change: Poverty isn’t just about lack of resources. In a wealthy world it’s about bad decisions made by powerful people. Oxfam campaigns hard, putting pressure on leaders for real lasting change. Development work: Poor people can take control, solve their own problems, and rely on themselves – with the right support. Fighting poverty, we fund long-term work worldwide. Emergency response: People need help in an emergency – fast. We save lives, swiftly delivering aid, support and protection; and we help people prepare for future crises. Oxfam also has around 670 shops in the UK and an online shop selling over 100,000 volunteer-listed second-hand clothes, books, music and collectables, plus Fairtrade and ethical gifts: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop Interested in working for Oxfam?

Ah... cotton. So soft. Yet so demanding. Did you know producing new cotton clothes uses huge amounts of our planet’s precious fresh water? This mostly affects people in countries where a lot of cotton is grown, and the climate crisis is making water harder to find.

🚨 The severe restrictions on humanitarian aid in #Gaza are causing a catastrophic crisis. Here are 6 main ways that aid is being obstructed. The Israeli Government must allow unimpeded access to life-saving supplies for the Palestinian people. Humanitarian aid should never be a political tool. The international community must act now. #AidObstructed #OpenUpGaza #CeasefireNOW

📢 *Free webinar 17th September* – Increasing Representation of Women in Leadership' Many businesses are waking up to the urgent need to tackle the barriers that stop women from realising their full potential in the workplace - from discrimination, violence and sexual harassment to low wages and a lack of voice and representation. Increasing representation of women in management, and across different areas within a company, can also help your business thrive: more diversity at the top can help businesses do better. Creating an environment where women can advance and succeed can help businesses become more effective in tackling power imbalances throughout supply chains. In the final webinar in the Oxfam Business Advisory series – Putting People at the Heart of Human Rights Due Diligence – Private Sector Gender Advisor Jiselle Steele will be joined by an expert panel to highlight challenges, opportunities and actions companies can take to support women at all levels. Joining Jiselle are: · Laura M., Manager, RISE (Reimagining Industry to Support Equality) BSR · Janhavi Naidu, Human Rights and Inclusion Manager, OFI (Olam Food Ingredients) · Cesar Maita Azpiri, Senior Manager Gender, IDH (The Sustainable Trade Initiative) Free to sign up and all registrants will receive a copy of the recording afterwards.

Oxfam's Arms Policy Advisor tells Al Jazeera English why the UK Government suspension of 30 out of 350 UK arms licences to Israel is "doing the absolute minimum to appear that things have changed, rather than actually making change." The UK must take stronger action and suspend ALL arms exports and close all loop holes immediately. #StopArmingIsrael Full statement: https://lnkd.in/eGr3AKsk
