Abstract
Oxfam India is part of a global movement working to fight
poverty, injustice and inequality; in India it works in seven
focus states1
. Oxfam India aims to improve poor people’s
access, rights and entitlements over land, and natural
resources in order to support and augment their livelihood.
Through its programme on Small Holder Agriculture, Oxfam
India focuses on socialising the identity of women as
farmers, strengthening the economic leadership of women
farmers, ensuring their land rights, and making public
investments in agriculture accessible to small farmers,
especially women farmers. Oxfam India is working to
bridge this gap and is supporting the AAROH Campaign
in Uttar Pradesh to bring social and legal recognition to
women farmers.
