Oxfam #EU Academy 2025 was truly rewarding. Having learned about the EU’s institutions, political landscape, power balance, rise of the far-right, and how these shape #Oxfam’s engagement opportunities and challenges within the EU policy cycle. Big thanks to @oxfameu.bsky.social for the opportunity!

#Brussels covers​​​ approximately 162 km², with around 8,000 hectares (80 km²) of public #greenspace and more than 800 #parks and #gardens, nearly half of the region’s total area. What about #PhnomPenh? With a land area of 678 km², how many #publicparks and gardens do we have?

Quality time with digitally active and socially engaged youths in a dynamic session on the evolving state of #digitalrights and #civicspace in #Cambodia in the first half of 2025, using #Oxfam’s Rights in a Digital Age, and Civic Space Monitoring Tools for deep discussions and youth-led assessments.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we stand together for a healthier planet and a brighter future for all. Climate change, pollution, and deforestation threaten communities worldwide—especially the most vulnerable. But together, we can be part of the solution.

#OxfamKH & partners recently hosted a memorable camping and inspiring roundtable discussion with youths, community members, CSO workers & govt officials to explore the current status and future of #MekongRiver at Koh Han Community-Based Ecotourism in #StungTreng to celebrate #InternationalRiverDay.

It's heartwarming to witness the moment of national pride and respect. Street vendors, many of whom speak Khmer and Lao, paused their activities in the early morning to honour the national anthem at the #StungTreng market. This gesture reflects a deep sense of patriotism and unity.

Unbelievable! #ElonMusk’s wealth went up by almost $3 billion a day in December 2024! t.co/0zUYDh3uMo

Ever heard of #BillionaireColonialism? 🌍💰 It's a term that's catching on. Any thoughts on what it means? 🤔 #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality #TaxTheRich views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2025/01/davo...

The Takers (Billionaires) have had their way too long, it’s time to prioritize the makers (the 99%)!

#TaxTheRich, #CancelTheDebt, and reimagine an economy that works for everyone. Our collective power is the real wealth. #TakersNotMakers #FightInequality

"How can we start to fix a system that perversely rewards unjust amassing of wealth and historic crimes, while penalising the poorest, particularly in the Global South?"
