Its own report, Our Land, Our Lives,indicates that, since 2008, communities affected by World Bank projects have brought 21 formal complaints alleging violations of their land rights. Oxfam, drawing attention to large-scale land acquisitions that have entailed direct rights violations, has called on the Bank to freeze investments in land purchases until it can set standards ensuring that local communities are informed of them in advance, with the option of refusing them.
国际乐施会（Oxfam International）将部分交易称为“抢地”。其报告《我们的土地，我们的生命》（Our Land, Our Lives）显示，自2008年以来，受世界银行项目影响的社会共提出了21次指责破坏其土地权利的正式投诉。为了吸引人们对存在直接侵权现象的大规模土地收购的关注，乐施会呼吁世界银行冻结土地买卖投资，直到保证当地社会能提前获得告知并选择是否拒绝的标准出台。乐施会还呼吁世界银行保证这些土地交易不能破坏当地和国家粮食安全。
