“I am from a backward caste. My father and mother in law don’t like me because of that. They always wanted to expel me from the family. I don’t have any job, I don’t own any land, and I am poor.’ — Suresho Aina, 39, a smallholder farmer in Uttar Pradesh, India. Photo: Ricky Wong/Oxfam

What’s wrong? Women smallholder farmers in Uttar Pradesh make up 38 per cent of the total agricultural workforce. Due to traditional values and gender inequality, they are not recognised by men, by society, and by the government as farmers. As a result, they have very limited access to resources, government schemes and programmes, and micro credit. Worse still, most women farmers do not have access to or control over land, which seriously hinders their productivity and income. According to a study conducted by Oxfam, only six per cent of women in Uttar Pradesh own land, less than one per cent participate in government training programmes, and only eight per cent have control over agricultural income.

What’s Oxfam doing?

Oxfam is supporting women smallholder farmers in India to improve their yields and income by setting up 375 women groups (40 women per group) at the village level. Agricultural training and support are also provided.

To tackle the root causes of the problem, we support women smallholder farmers like Suresho Aina to fight for their land rights and make their voices heard through the AAROH Campaign. This is a campaign led by women farmers that aims to change land laws through advocacy and lobbying the Indian government; 15,000 women are involved in the campaign. Standing together with women farmers against injustice. Smallholder farmers are people who: How to achieve the goal?

‘‘We are the Qiang people (an ethnic group) in Beichuan, Sichuan, China. I grow vegetables and work as a day labourer for an income. I am a member of the village development committee. I mobilised other women in the village to help build a road which is important for our livelihood development. In the beginning, villagers – particularly the village head – were sceptical about women’s ability to lead the project, but we showed them that we could do it. The village now recognises our contribution!’ – He Qiong Photo: Ricky Wong/Oxfam

What’s wrong? Decades of environmental degradation, natural disaster, poor transportation, and limited government resources have crippled the development of smallholder farmers’ livelihoods in Beichuan, Sichuan Province, China. Women villagers tend to have fewer resources, and fewer opportunities to make life-shaping decisions than men due to traditional values.

What’s Oxfam doing?

We recognise people’s power to change their lives. That is why we are working with a partner organisation in Beichuan to support farmers there to improve their lives and mobilise government resources to develop the community. Through it, we encourage women to take part in community development, and make sure that their voices are heard. Villagers involved in the project also make decisions as a group and share the workload. Currently, we are:

Restoring livelihoods

Aminata, 26, and her mother Hawa, 65, are farmers in Katumbo, Sierra Leone. During the Ebola crisis, the government restricted community members’ movement between villages and towns. This had a devastating impact on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and petty traders who depended on selling their produce at markets. Aminata said, ‘Normally, I sell my carrots to the capital in Freetown and other places, but during the Ebola crisis, the markets were almost down, and there were roadblocks. So, I couldn’t get people to buy my vegetables and I had no income.' 1 After the restrictions began to be lifted, Oxfam worked with communities to rebuild their businesses and redevelop their farmlands by providing cash grants. Farmers used the cash grants to buy seeds and tools for farming, and stock for their stalls. Aminata said, ‘I received $68 pounds (about HK$750) from Oxfam, I used the money to start farming again and expand my farm. I was happy, my children and my mother were happy because I could start doing some small trading business and my kids could get food and go to school.'

Water and sanitation, and public health

Oxfam is widely known for delivering high-quality public health programmes to achieve maximum impact on the health and well-being of communities affected by emergencies. During the Ebola outbreak, Oxfam's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) teams worked with communities to create an environment in which public health risks were reduced and the safety and dignity of emergency-affected communities was enhanced

Sallieu Kargbo, 22 Hygiene teacher, EcuAid Primary School Port Loko, Sierra Leone

‘I’m in charge of the hygiene club in the school. Some of the kids here have lost their fathers and mothers during the Ebola crisis. They long for an education. I work with club members to make Oxfam provides clean water, toilets, showers and hygiene classes to sure that our environment is clean. We keep all 600 students aged 12 to 23 in Port Loko's EducAid High School, Sierra Leone. latrines and bathrooms clean. We meet three times per week to make sure everyone knows the importance of hygiene. Members of the club help me spread the message to everybody in the “Tigers” in the toilets school.

It washing buckets, soap, shovel, and gloves.’ addresses the issue of pits frequently filling up in congested places, and where digging into the ground is difficult. The toilets give communities the chance to lead happier, healthier, and more dignified lives. The worms can digest the contents of the toilet; this accelerates the decomposition of faeces, stops germs from spreading, reduces the volume of waste inside and helps the Waste management toilets to last longer. What's more, the worms turn the waste into a fantastic natural fertiliser!

Oxfam has initiated a project working with local youth groups to facilitate daily rubbish collection. Volunteers go door to door to Patricia lives in Doe community in collect household waste from their communities, and take it to downtown Monrovia, Liberia. She has dump sites for proper disposal. Prior to this project, there was no had an Oxfam Tiger worm toilet for three years now and uses the formal rubbish collection in the Pa Morlai Community, Sierra fertiliser it produces to grow Leone. As a result, waste littered the streets, making the vegetables for her and her family to environment unsanitary.

Community engagement ‘One of the things I like most is Oxfam’s involvement with the women. Women The word ‘Ebola’ is often linked to fear, stigma, mistrust represent a crucial section of society and rumours both in affected communities and around that have long been forgotten. If we the world. As such, community engagement has been deny them the opportunities to reach widely recognised as a critical component in the response their full potential, we are just being to Ebola.

We also promote local governance through female political empowerment. Photos: Tommy Trenchard/Oxfam

The crisis is over, but Ebola could strike again

Ebola-affected countries in West Africa have some of the worst water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in the world. To prevent the disease from striking again, we need to strengthen public health services, including WASH in schools and slum areas, and more broadly to make access to clean water and sanitation available and sustainable in communities.

We at Oxfam have been supporting governments and communities in Sierra Leone and Liberia to return to normal, as well as communities to protect against Ebola. With the need to rebuild livelihoods and health services, we will continue work in the affected countries for the long-haul. 6 Focus

How can we live up to the expectation of our supporters and donors?

By: Chan Mayling, International Programme Director, Oxfam Hong Kong I remember when I first joined Oxfam in the early 90s, it was quite unheard of to set a gender policy which attended to sexual harassment in the workplace. In the 2000s, we established a whistleblowing policy which enabled victims of sexual exploitation to come forward to report abuse. So long as the unbalance of power between men and women exist, poverty and injustice will prevail. That is why women empowerment is at the core of our development and humanitarian programmes. We implement programmes on women’s economic empowerment (WEE) within value chains across the globe. We make sure women’s voices are heard. We support them to take leadership roles in their communities. The Haiti scandal did pose a challenge to us. As an organisation, we excel in some areas and have positively impacted countless people’s lives, but we have also failed in some areas due to the discrepancy in values we hold as individuals. That said, we are doing all we can to step up our safeguarding measures to ensure that vulnerable people are protected, not wronged by Oxfam. With your support, we will emerge better from our current situation and empower even more people in poor communities to improve their lives.
