Stories in the news week demonstrate the extent to which Oxfam has become a propaganda machine for gender identity ideology, engaging in the most disgusting misogyny and vilification of feminists.
In June 2021, The Telegraph reported on an Oxfam staff training document called ‘Learning About Trans Rights and Inclusion’.
This manual claimed that “Mainstream feminism centres on privileged white women and demands that ‘bad men’ be fired or imprisoned”, which, it adds, “Legitimises criminal punishment, harming black and other marginalised people”. The text was accompanied by a cartoon of a weeping white woman.
In October 2021 we reported that Oxfam had removed a children’s game from sale after pressure from trans activists.
The children’s bingo game, ‘Wonder Women’, celebrated 48 inspirational women, including Jane Austen, Rosa Parks, Greta Thunberg and Malala Yousafzai. More particularly, JK Rowling and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie were also included, as was trans-identified actor Elliot (formerly Ellen) Page.
Oxfam withdrew the game from sale due to pressure from gender zealots within the organisation. It told staff in an email, “We took the decision to remove the game from sale following concerns raised by trans and non-binary colleagues who told us it didn’t live up to our commitment to respect people of all genders”.
Earlier this year we reported on another story involving Oxfam’s staff training. The charity had just released a 92-page ‘inclusivity guide’ for employees which promotes gender ideology and erases the language of motherhood.
Writing in Unherd, Julie Bindel reported on an Oxfam employee was hounded out of her job after questioning a claim that JK Rowling is ‘transphobic’.
This heartbreaking story came to light within days of Oxfam releasing a video for Pride Month which was not only blatant propaganda for gender ideology but also a shocking demonization of gender critical voices.
It does, however, still contain a scene which normalises the medicalisation of gender non-conforming children and teenagers by depicting a very young ‘trans man’ with mastectomy scars and a character wearing a t-shirt which reads ‘protect trans kids’.
Lets not forget that Oxfam employees, including former country director, Roland van Hauwermeiren, were sexually abusing 12 and 13 year old girls while based in Haiti, supposedly providing aid after an earthquake which killed 250,000 people.
A subsequent investigation found that Oxfam had failed to investigate allegations about the sexual abuse of children, repeatedly fell below expected standards of safeguarding, tried to cover up the Haiti scandal and failed to care for the victims.
