With movements to roll back gender rights on the rise around the world, Kelly Mundy and Rachel Noble explain why the fight to protect them is more important than ever and set out three things we can do to support them.
Want to tackle inequality? Start with fair taxes and giving the Global South a real voice at the IMF and World Bank
Global inequality will continue to spiral in a skewed system of international finance and governance that heavily favours the Global North, says Anthony Kamande in the latest blog in our Davos series.
Who wants to be a trillionaire? How Oxfam worked out five men could win the ultimate wealth prize.
Alex Maitland takes us through the number-crunching behind the headline prediction from our Davos report: that there will be five trillionaires within a decade.
Get ready for the new trillionaire class: whose wealth will be built not on merit but inheritance, monopoly – and the legacy of colonialism
The world looks set to see five trillionaires by the end of the decade — and more billionaires are now being created through inheritance than entrepreneurialism. Anjela Taneja and Harry Bignell introduce Oxfam’s 2025 Davos report, which reveals the scale of unearned wealth — and how those riches are built on a colonial legacy of exploitative global systems.
The first trillionaire, how carbon inequality costs lives and language bias in NGO recruitment… top reads of 2024
