In our efforts “to purposefully connect our ongoing work to women's lives and human rights” — all projects of the Oxford Initiative incorporate our Global Women’s Narratives Project. At its founding, we agreed on the following statements of common belief.
WE BELIEVE in the power of storytelling.
WE BELIEVE that although women comprise half of humanity, their stories are not told in that proportion, and this gap causes harm.
WE BELIEVE that stories from close to home and around the world hold equal value.
WE BELIEVE that “woman” is an identity that is meaningful and binds these stories together.
