Trying to solve poverty is a lot like trying to solve a really hard puzzle.
That's why Oxfam has a new six-sided strategy to tackle it, driven by
the power of people against poverty.
First,
we're helping people to claim rights for themselves
the right to be heard,
what we call "voices for choices".
Because women and girls are still massively underrepresented and often
oppressed
we'll strive for gender justice.
Natural resources are vital for prosperity
but we need to make sure
that poor people in developing countries are getting their fair share.
And when natural disasters strike
or in times of war
we'll be there to save lives.
We're working to safeguard global food supplies so that people always have
enough to eat.
And we're pushing for more money to go to human development, especially to health
and education.
With hands-on know-how,
new ideas, and being bold,
and with the power of people against poverty
we can solve this poverty puzzle.
