Sudan Divestment Oxford is contributing to a worldwide campaign to bring an end to this crisis through the use of targeted divestment. Within Oxford University we are putting pressure on colleges to divest from companies who are funding the Government of Sudan. Through this financial pressure we hope induce the Sudanese government into changing its actions in Darfur.

In Oxford we have much support from groups such as the Student Union's Environment & Ethics Committee, Oxford Aegis Society and Hands Up for Darfur with whom we work in partnership to make our work as effective as possible.

Sudan Divestment Oxford was formed in February 2007 by a group of Oxford students who were committed to making a difference. Having been inspired by the success of divestment in many universities in America, students were keen to make Sudan Divestment work within Oxford University in order to affect the terrible events which are happening in Darfur.
