In many parts of the world, people are marginalised based on their age and children are the most vulnerable to discrimination based on gender identity and expression. Oxfam works to provide these minority communities with the opportunity to participate more equally in the world around them. Often this is by working in countries to elevate youth voices and offer more opportunities to children. The following programs show how your gift will go towards supporting children, girls and boys alike and giving them the skills they need to lift themselves out of poverty and into empowerment.

• In Fiji, our ‘Shifting Power, Shifting Voice’ project supports the economic empowerment of women and people in sexual and gender minority communities.
• In Papua New Guinea, we are striving to end violence against women and girls, including sorcery-related violence.
• In Solomon Islands, we are motivating boys to reject family violence and adopt healthy attitudes and behaviour toward women and girls.
• In Vanuatu, we are creating opportunities for children, people with disabilities, young people and sexual and gender minority communities to earn a living.
