The Bigger Picture Project at the University of Edinburgh has teamed up with Democracy in Africa to bring you videos from practitioners in international development and humanitarianism. In this post, we hear about Oxfam’s programme tackling Women’s Economic Empowerment and Care. Thalia Kidder, Senior Advisor on Women’s Economic Rights and  Jane Remme, Programme Co-ordinator for Women’s Economic Empowerment and Care at Oxfam join us in this video, exploring how to improve women’s employment opportunities and value the care work that many women already provide. Doing so is crucial in facilitating women’s political, economic and social empowerment.
