What Oxfam is Doing
Oxfam America is calling on international oil, gas, and mining companies to show their respect for poor communities’ right to know and right to decide. We are engaging with the public, government, private sector, and the international community. Each group can help respect the rights of poor people and contribute to the long-term reduction of poverty. more »
