Movement building

The Girls First Fund (GFF) was created in 2018 by a group of philanthropic partners who believed that community-based organizations are the key drivers of change to end child, early, and forced marriage or unions. As a global collaborative fund, GFF channels flexible, multi-year funding and tailored support to mainly girl- and women-led organizations advancing locally rooted, gender-transformative solutions.

The Role

Reporting to the Advisory Committee, Girls First Fund seeks their next Director to steward the organization, its strategy, its partnerships, and its role championing community-led efforts so that all girls can live free from child marriage and create their own future. The Director will be responsible for leading GFF’s work increasing the financial resources channeled to community-based organizations to prevent and respond to child marriage, and amplifying the voices of these vital organizations. The Director will lead and collaborate with a team of 20, many of whom have been with the organization since it’s founding. The Director is ultimately responsible for the strategic, grantmaking, and financial operations of the organization.

Candidate Profile
GFF is seeking a strategic, collaborative, and inspirational leader with a passion for advancing community-based, girlcentered, and gender-transformative work. The Director will bring deep experience, networks, and relationships across philanthropic and advocacy spheres—and enthusiasm for mobilizing the resources and donor community needed to sustain and grow this work. The Director will ideally bring the following set of skills and experiences to the position:
Fundraising and donor relations: Experience cultivating institutional and individual donors will be critical for the next Director, as they sustain and expand GFF’s funding base. The next Director will bring an existing network of funder relationships and the ability to build new partnerships for the organization.
Grassroots CBO connection: The next Director will bring deep experience with grassroots community-based organizations in the Global South and an understanding of the challenges they face. They will bring an authentic connection to GFF’s partners and grantees, drawing from their experience.
External engagement: The Director will be skilled in external representation, drawing from their experience representing organizations globally across a variety of spaces and audiences including philanthropy, feminist movements, the movement to end child and early forced marriage, community-based organizations and more.
Organizational leadership: The next leader of GFF will bring experience managing organizations and teams across geographies and will be comfortable making strategic and operational decisions in line with GFF’s newly refreshed strategy, in partnership with the board and staff.

Background
The Global Survivors Fund (GSF) was founded in October 2019 by Dr Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, 2018 Nobel Peace Prize laureates. Its mission is to enhance access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence worldwide, addressing a long-standing gap identified by survivors. GSF provides interim reparative measures in situations where states or other parties are unable or unwilling to meet their responsibilities.

About WHRD-IC:

The Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD-IC) is a transnational, intersectional feminist coalition of women human rights defenders, feminists, trans and non-binary activists and organisations, and their allies. Our mission is to deepen and sustain the collective power and resistance of WHRDs and their collective organising, across the intersections of movements, issues and regions.

Purpose of consultancy:

The WHRD-IC is seeking a researcher, group of researchers or research organisation to develop a new Global Report on the Situation of Women Human Rights Defenders.

The WHRDIC’s previous Global Report is available here. The new research should be intersectional, cross-issue, cross-regional and cross-movement, reflecting the broad understanding of “women human rights defenders” as women, trans and non-binary defenders engaged in any human rights work and activism, and people of all genders engaged and working on gender and sexuality.

The research will rely on a combination of hired expertise, contributions from WHRDIC members, and structured collaborative processes across the Coalition, its partners and allies.

Objectives of the research:

The consultant will produce a global report that:

Provides an overview of key trends, challenges, threats, and violations faced by WHRDs globally, across regions, identities, and movements.

Develops a cross-regional, cross-issue, and cross-movement analysis of the human rights work of WHRDs, the evolving risks they face within the contexts of backlash and polycrisis, and the political environments shaping their struggles.

Identifies new and emerging dynamics in the WHRD landscape while building on previous publications by WHRDIC and its members and foundational collective knowledge.

Documents and amplifies stories of resistance, resilience, connection, and hope, with a focus on analysing effective feminist tactics and strategies used by WHRDs, as well as the impact and outcomes these strategies generate.

Provides concrete, detailed, and stakeholder-specific recommendations—at international, regional, and local levels—on how WHRDs and their work can be better protected, supported, and funded.
