Roadmap for Feminist Local Humanitarian Leadership (2026)

Oxfam in Asia and its partners recognize that gender and power inequalities persist both in communities affected by crises and within the broader humanitarian system. These inequalities are historically rooted, intersectional and layered – existing among diverse crisis-affected populations, between these populations and humanitarian actors, and even within humanitarian institutions themselves. Oxfam commits to leveraging its power to foster gender-transformative and socially inclusive change while promoting local leadership in humanitarian response. This roadmap was developed with partners from a feminist, diversified network across Asia.
