The gift that empowers others
With a Women’s Empowerment Gift, you can support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to learn about the political system. By forming strong networks with female politicians, political leaders and each other, women are empowered to become change-makers in their communities and beyond.
A haven of hope
The threat of violence is a daily reality for millions of women and girls around the world. This makes access to secure refuge vital for the safety of them and their children. By purchasing a Safe Refuge for Women Gift, you can help support women and families threatened by violence by giving them access to crisis accommodation, legal advice, counselling and healthcare services.
The gift of warm hugs
If your mum deserves to be spoiled this Mother’s Day, consider a gift that can help other mums who are affected by domestic violence. With the Safe Refuge for Women Gift, you can help provide crisis accommodation, legal advice, counselling and healthcare services for women in desperate need of safety and support.
The egg-citing gift of sustainability
The gift of a Chicken improves food access and provides a steady income for families in places like Vanuatu. Eggs are versatile and nutritious and can be sold at the market, helping to make essential purchases like medicine and school supplies.
Weaving smiles and success
Empower women and girls with this handloom.
Kickstart a woman’s small business making textiles (giving her independence and a sustainable income) AND weave a smile on your loved one’s face at the same time? That’s no stitch up!
Gifts for her: delight and impress the women you love
When women are safe, supported and supplied with the right tools, they have the power to make lasting changes that benefit their family and the entire community. Whether it’s mum, sister, daughter or grandma, these charity gifts will impress and delight.
Why buy a women’s empowerment gift with Oxfam?
Oxfam is a global movement of people working hard to address issues of poverty that many women around the world bear the brunt of simply because of their gender. Together with our partners, we find practical, innovative and measurable solutions that help improve the lives of women in Australia and all over the world.
What are the best gift ideas for women?
Wondering what the best gift is for your loved one? These unique charity gift ideas will help you find the perfect present for every woman in your life, whether it’s housewarming gifts, Christmas and holiday gifts, Valentine’s gifts for her, or birthday gifts for girls.
Christmas and holidays gifts
The holiday season is a time that many of us splash out on gifts for loved ones. But in many parts of the world, simply having access to freshwater would be a gift to last a lifetime. By giving your loved one a clean water gift this holiday season, you are helping provide an entire community with access to safe water, sanitation and toilet facilities in places like Bangladesh, where natural disasters and climate change have led to major infrastructure damage and livelihood insecurity.
Valentine’s gifts for her
Know a strong woman who likes to speak her mind? Help her support First Nations women to learn more about politics with a Women’s Empowerment Gift this Valentine’s Day. Your contribution will help Straight Talk, an Oxfam-supported forum where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women can meet, exchange ideas and develop the leadership skills they need to inspire positive change.
How will your gift for her support other women?
In many parts of the world, people are marginalised on the basis of their gender identity and expression, as well as their sexual orientation or sex characteristics. 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 male-dominated communities, where women are denied their rights and disadvantaged as a result. The following programs show how your gift will go towards supporting women 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 men and boys to reject family violence and adopt healthy attitudes and behaviour toward women and girls.
- In Vanuatu, we are creating opportunities for women, people with disabilities, young people and sexual and gender minority communities to earn a living.
