Oxfam’s vision is of a Laos in which all citizens – particularlywomen, the marginalised and discriminated groups – are able to claim their right to access opportunities and resources so as to overcome all forms of poverty and injustice. Since 2015, the work of Oxfam in the country is governed by the Oxfam Country Strategy (2015-2019).We seek transformative changes in policies, practices and beliefs in ways that fundamentally improve the lives of poor and marginalised women and men, and ensure that all citizens have the same opportunities to enjoy their rights. Todo so, Oxfam focuses its work on four Domains of Change: Citizen Participation and Civil Society Development, Gender Justice, Resilient Communities and Sustainable Development, and Responsible Investment. For this project, Oxfam in Laos will support theexpansion of the influencing work and public campaign on advocating for more inclusive social protection and access to social protection of the most marginalized workers. National public events will be organised, such Eliminate Violence Against Women Day(EVAW), and digital platforms will be used to socialize the information, and stir discussion and dialogue among rights holders, government stakeholders and policy makers. The campaigns will be implemented nationwide and in the provinces where Oxfam in Laosworks. Target groups include marginalized workers, youth, women, CSOs as well as government stakeholders.
