Oxfam Unwrapped: Women at work

Women’s work deserves to be valued and respected. Across the UK and worldwide, much of the care and labor that women provide is unpaid or underpaid.

That’s why, through our partnerships, we’re focused on transforming the systems that keep women’s contributions undervalued. Under our Valuing Women’s Work programme, we join in solidarity with women globally to ensure their efforts are recognized and fairly rewarded, creating lasting change for communities everywhere.
