Sisters on the Planet®

Oxfam-Sisters-on-the-Planet-2440x1526.jpg

Since 2008, hundreds of notable women have joined Oxfam as Sisters on the Planet® Ambassadors.

A diverse group of American women who are leaders in everything from business, to politics to the arts, Sisters on the Planet Ambassadors are united by a common goal: to use their influence to fight inequality, with a particular focus on empowering women and girls worldwide.

About Sisters on the Planet

Sisters on the Planet Ambassadors work to change the laws and policies that keep people—especially women and girls—trapped in poverty.

Systematic discrimination against women and girls is the most pervasive cause of the power inequality that drives poverty. When women can exercise their rights and gain the knowledge, skills, and information they need to feed their aspirations, they can become powerful agents of change. That’s an important step toward ending poverty everywhere.

What do Sisters on the Planet Ambassadors do?

Together, Sisters on the Planet use their collective influence to shape policy debates on issues that affect women and girls.

They have moved members of Congress to vote in favor of getting more emergency food aid to communities that need it; helped women leaders from around the world voice their concerns directly to world leaders; highlighted the need for a global arms trade treaty to keep civilians safe in conflict areas; and raised awareness about the importance of US foreign aid to fight global poverty. And these activities are just the beginning.

Specific activities include meeting with members of Congress or other US government officials, drafting op-eds and letters to the editor for local and national media, hosting events, traveling with Oxfam to field offices, or sharing important information with our networks and communities. Sisters on the Planet work with Oxfam year-round, with particular activities planned for International Women’s Day (March) and World Food Day (October).
