We Keep People Safe

At Oxfam, we are committed to zero tolerance of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse in our organization. This means that we will do everything in our power to prevent these from happening, and rigorously address it each and every time it happens.

One of the most important pillars of safeguarding is our Code of Conduct, which provides a framework within which all Oxfam employees, regardless of location, undertake to carry out their duties and to regulate their conduct.

Oxfam expects all staff, volunteers and consultants to follow the Safeguarding policy and procedures at Oxfam. On 16 February 2018, we agreed on a 10-Point Action Plan to strengthen Oxfam’s safeguarding policies and practices and to transform our organizational culture.

Oxfam does not tolerate abuse, fraud or corruption. We welcome feedback and treat information in confidence. Please share any concerns about our work. Call +441865 47 2120 or +842439454448 - ext: 515 or 508 or email to whistleblowing.vietnam@oxfam.org.

Reporting an Incident

Anyone (including Oxfam’s partners and people we work with) can raise a concern or make a complaint to Oxfam about something they have experienced or witnessed without fear of retribution.

Partnerships lie at the core of how Oxfam understands the world and our role in working for change. All of Oxfam’s work in long-term development, humanitarian response and disaster prevention, and campaigns and advocacy are guided by our Partnership Principles.

Oxfam’s good governance programme is focused on ensuring that all citizens, in particular those who are marginalised in society, such as ethnic minorities and poor men and women, have increased access to information and feel confident about raising their voices. We work to ensure that citizens have greater opportunities to influence decisions that shape their lives and are able to hold the government accountable.

What we want to achieve

Our Social Accountability and Empowered Citizens goal seeks for:

People (especially women, young people, workers) have voice and agency to influence decisions that affect their lives
Inclusive decision-making process that enables voice of the grassroots inclusion in the national, regional and global decision making levels.
State and private financing for development is more transparent, inclusive, sustainable and equitable with.
Accountable government and private sector

How we achieve it

Together with our partners, we conduct research on governance issues and use this knowledge to develop evidence-based policy recommendations. We help to develop multi-stakeholder coalitions and informal networks on issues of public concern in order to influence public debates, advocate with the government, and monitor policy implementation. We also promote linkages among local, regional and global governance networks, convening and brokering a wide range of actors to work collaboratively and influence laws, policies and budgets.

Legal Access Changing Lives, One Household at a Time

Ne, married at 16 and enduring over a decade of abuse, represents the struggles the "Effective cooperation for the rights of legal aid & legal consultancy of the poorest ethnic minority community" initiative addresses. Led by RIC, the initiative enhances legal access, involving government departments and community groups, training members to tackle domestic violence and legal issues, improving lives and legal awareness in Hoa Binh.

Despite efforts to reform administrative procedures, challenges persist. Teacher Nguyen Hong Son from Ta Rut commune, Quang Tri, spent over 18 months and 2,000 km in travel to obtain his land use right certificate. Frustrated by delays, he reported his case to the M-Score hotline and Quang Tri PPC, which eventually resolved the issue, granting him his certificate in November 2019.

Nearly two years ago, a discharged patient praised the hospital's follow-up satisfaction call. The call was part of the M-Score initiative, enhancing patient-doctor connections since March 2017. Despite initial challenges, the project collected valuable feedback, leading to improvements in administrative procedures, staff attitude, and facilities for professional patient care.

good governance Oxfam in Vietnam

Gender justice is central to Oxfam’s work in Vietnam.

We aim to embrace diversity and ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic, and public life.

We aim for inclusive growth and women achieving equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance, and natural resources, in accordance with national laws.

Current situation

Despite a strong legal framework on gender equality, women in Vietnam continue to experience discrimination and stereotyping and often lack economic and political opportunities at the household, community, and national levels. More than half of married women have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual domestic violence, and the bulk of unpaid care and household work is taken care of by women. Many women do not have an equal voice in decisions that affect their lives, and there are few female political leaders.
