Fundación Oxfam Colombia

Oxfam has had a permanent presence in Colombia since 1986, originally being registered under Oxfam Intermon (Spain), Colombia became and independent affiliate in the Oxfam Federation in November 2020. For Oxfam Colombia, women are at the core of our work. We are committed to working with victims of the armed conflict, and with women from working class and diverse backgrounds, including rural, urban and migrant populations – particularly with indigenous, afro-descendent, smallholder farming, and youth populations. We work with grassroots organizations with a focus on human rights and gender justice, who work tirelessly to exercise their full citizenship. Working together with these groups, we promote an influencing agenda that seeks to transform popular consciousness and to consolidate effective public policy to combat the various inequalities that affect Colombia. We contribute to a more equal and socially just Colombia, strengthening both peacebuilding in peripheral regions of the country, and the participation of women and of women’s organizations in democratic spaces, to promote the rights of victims of the conflict, both urban and rural, and migrants.
