General Information
Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) is an international child rights NGO dedicated to preventing and stopping child exploitation while empowering children to make their voices count. Driven by five core principles – Children at the Centre, Safety and Well-being, Intersectionality, Power Awareness, and Sustainability – TdH NL addresses systemic root causes to design scalable, evidence-based protection interventions.
Background & Rationale
In active conflict and displacement settings (including Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Bangladesh, and Ukraine), traditional protective environments for children crumble. Simultaneously, displacement, financial desperation, and humanitarian remote delivery mechanisms push children onto digital devices.
This digital dependency exposes children to unprecedented risks: predatory online recruitment, financial or sexual extortion, synthetic child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). High-income settings dominate existing research, leaving frontline actors without actionable evidence suited for crisis zones. This operational research aims to bridge the evidence-to-practice gap to inform localized policy, adapt frontline protection programming, and improve organizational safeguarding.
Objectives of the Consultancy
The research will evaluate online risks, protective factors, and systemic safeguarding gaps across targeted humanitarian contexts (Ethiopia, DRC, Uganda, Bangladesh, Ukraine).
Desired Expertise:
● Advanced postgraduate degree in Social Sciences, International Development, Child Rights, or related fields.
● Extensive track record of conducting participatory, trauma-informed qualitative and quantitative research on child protection and technology-facilitated violence (TFV) in crisis settings.
● Proven capability in qualitative thematic coding (e.g., NVivo) and statistical data analysis disaggregated by age, gender, and displacement status.
● Demonstrated experience preparing and delivering ethics and data collection training for field enumerators.
● Excellent technical writing skills with a history of delivering high-level research reports for international audiences.
