UOW Oxfam Club

The University of Wollongong Oxfam Club raises awareness of social justice issues on the UOW campus and in the Illawarra community.

Our current campaigns are:

• Close The Gap (indigenous health equality)
• Make Poverty History
• Make Trade Fair
• Control Arms
• Labour rights

We carry out these campaigns by:

• Holding stalls at market days on-campus and in the community selling fair trade tea, coffee, chocolate and handicrafts.
• Sending volunteers to the Oxfam Australia events, e.g. Oxfam Trail walker, Oxfam International Youth Parliament.
• Organising fundraising events to raise awareness of social justice issues and Oxfam campaigns on campus and in the community, e.g. photo petitions and gathering signatures to send to politicians and businesses.
• Working with other on-campus groups and local organisations such as Amnesty International to increase the impact of our work.

UOW Oxfam is affiliated with Oxfam Australia (www.oxfam.org.au), a community-based, not-for-profit, secular aid and development organisation.

Oxfam Australia is one of the 13 Oxfams around the world that form Oxfam International, which works in over 100 countries worldwide.
