Oxfam puts human rights at the heart of all its work.  It believes that where people are treated with dignity, where human rights are respected, and where communities are empowered to become active citizens in civil society, poverty can be relieved and resilient communities established which can better deal themselves with 'shocks'.  Its work speaks for itself, so why not take a few minutes to watch some of its 3 minutes videos profiling some of the communities Oxfam is working with and the impact that work is having on those communities.
