“Oxfam’s Make Trade Fair campaign is calling on governments, institutions, and multinational companies to change the rules so that trade can become part of the solution to poverty, not part of the problem.

We are targeting them with a report which analyses international trade rules, and presents a powerful case for change. We know that real change will only come when large numbers of people demand it – in rich countries as well as poor.

We want to work with the many organisations and individuals around the world who are already campaigning to ensure that trade makes a real difference in the fight against poverty. Together, we aim to build the kind of movement that has brought an end to apartheid, banned the use of landmines, and made real progress in reducing Third World debt.”
