Economic justice GBV / VAWG PSEA/ Safeguarding
Purpose of the role
The Senior Investigative Researcher is a new role at Fawcett. We want to bring an investigative approach to our campaigning and research work. This is about discovering the emerging trends in the labour market and how affect they women, how women make money outside of formal employment, the behaviour of employers, the effectiveness of protection and regulation, and the impact of the ‘culture war’ narrative on women’s financial equality.

The 12 month contract will focus on women’s financial telling the stories and experiences equality but focussed on of women and workplaces in an emotive engaging way. This isn't a traditional desk and based research role. Rigorous evidence matters enormously but we want someone who is interested in uncovering what is happening in practice and is willing to ask difficult questions to get to the truth. Our hope is that we embed the investigative approach into all our campaigns and research outputs. While there are distinct projects this role will lead on hope to build significant autonomy and freedom and behaviours, into for example extreme misogyny online initially the role, to look at other trends and behaviours, for example extreme misogyny online, the Femosphere, content creator economics, or extreme beauty trends.

This may suit someone with a background in journalism, or research, or campaigning. We are less concerned with the professional background and more focused on finding someone who will take a brave and investigative approach, who will take a responsible and sensitive approach to talking to women and will be forthright and frank in the way those stories are told.

Person Specification
Essential criteria

A strong track record of finding things out — through journalism, research, campaigning, investigations or another relevant route.

Exceptional curiosity and the instinct to ask “but is that actually true?”

Excellent interviewing and writing skills, including the ability to turn complex evidence and people's experiences into compelling public facing stories.

Excellent judgement around evidence, accuracy, consent, confidentiality and working sensitively with people sharing difficult experiences.

Ability to assess the strength and limits of different types of evidence.

Ability to work independently while collaborating well with colleagues across communications, campaigns, policy or research.

Economic justice Education
Akili Dada is an award-winning leadership incubator anchored on the belief that girls and young women CAN and DO LEAD. We journey alongside adolescent girls and young women, supporting them to develop their leadership potential and to create and implement solutions to challenges affecting their lives and communities. Our approach combines education, leadership development, mentorship, financial investment, movement building and advocacy.

Through its Dada Clubs, Akili Dada provides safe and supportive spaces where adolescent girls can build leadership competencies, develop confidence and agency, engage with peers, explore issues affecting their lives and communities, and take collective action. Over the years, Akili Dada has developed and implemented leadership content through its Clubs. As the organization continues to strengthen its leadership programming, there is a need to review and enhance the existing curriculum to ensure that it provides a structured, progressive, and consistent leadership development experience across Clubs and responds to the evolving needs of adolescent girls.

The strengthened curriculum will position Urithi Dada Clubs as structured leadership development spaces where girls move beyond acquiring knowledge to developing practical leadership competencies, exercising agency, applying their skills, and leading action within their schools and communities.

The curriculum will strengthen core leadership competencies including critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, communication and public speaking, teamwork, conflict resolution, advocacy, civic engagement and community leadership. It will also provide opportunities for girls to apply their learning through community service and leadership projects.

The curriculum will incorporate the Adolescent Girls Agency Survey (AGAS) a psychometric self-reported instrument designed to measure the agentic capacity of adolescent girls and complementary approaches to assess changes in girls' agency, leadership competencies, and practice.

This assignment contributes to the strategic objective on establishing enhanced and innovative programmes in 3 crucial thematic areas, towards ensuring we continue to meet the changing needs of African Girls and Young Women as determined by program evaluations and feedback Goal 3: Leadership Curriculum Development, which seeks to strengthen Urithi Dada Clubs as structured spaces for adolescent girls' leadership development.

Purpose of the Assignment
Akili Dada seeks to engage a qualified consultant or consultancy firm to review, strengthen, standardize, and validate its existing Clubs leadership curriculum.

GBV / VAWG Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI) Human rights Peace and Security

Introduction
EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) is a policy platform that provides expertise in the field of equality between women and men and advocates for women’s human rights as inseparable from democracy building and citizenship.

From 15th of September 2026 EFI starts the implementation of a six-month project “Enhancing Institutional Coordination and Survivor-Centred Responses to Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I)”, in the frame of the GIZ program “Strengthening Participation, Peaceful Coexistence and Equality in Iraq” (SPACE). The project seeks to support state and non-state actors involved in the follow-up of the 2024 Regional Index on VAWG to adopt more coordinated, preventive, and survivor-centred approaches.

The project builds on the previous process that enabled the inclusion of Iraq and KR-I in the 2024 Regional Index on VAWG. This action focuses on supporting institutional coordination, data and knowledge management, survivor-centred approaches, referral and response systems, professional capacity-building, the sustainability of institutional responses and practical follow-up measures in preparation for the 2027 Regional Index scoring process.

As part of the main activities, the project includes a mapping exercise on existing training materials, institutional practices, survivor-centred approaches, referral systems and capacity-building gaps. The mapping exercise forms part of the follow-up on the implementation of the 2024 Regional Index on VAWG in Federal Iraq and KR-I and aims to support institutional follow-up and survivor-centred practices.

Scope of Work
The researcher or research team will conduct the mapping exercise in Federal Iraq and the KR-I, using desk review, key informant interviews (KIIs), structured questionnaires and surveys with relevant institutions, CSOs, service providers and technical stakeholders.

The mapping will establish an institutional baseline on survivor-centred VAWG prevention and response. It will assess existing training materials and capacity-building arrangements; referral and case-follow-up systems; specialised services and units; confidentiality and case-management practices; institutional coordination; data and knowledge-management systems; and available human, technical and material resources.

The exercise will identify previous capacity-building initiatives, providers, target groups, results and replication mechanisms; highlight priority gaps and opportunities for harmonisation and sustainability; inform the preparation of Training of Trainers (ToT) and internal replication activities for participating institutions and CSOs, and link findings and recommendations to the 2024 Regional Index on VAWG categories. Findings and recommendations should distinguish Federal Iraq and KR-I where mandates, systems or gaps differ.

QUALIFICATIONS
· Relevant university degree and at least 5 years of experience in research, institutional assessments, women’s rights, VAWG, protection or survivor-centred approaches.
· Proven qualitative and quantitative research experience, including desk review, KIIs, questionnaires and surveys.
· Strong knowledge of VAWG response systems, referral mechanisms, survivor-centred approaches, confidentiality, case management, institutional coordination and knowledge management.
· Understanding of data protection, ethical and do-no-harm considerations in VAWG-related research.
· Experience working with governmental institutions, CSOs, INGOs or donor-funded projects, with strong analytical, drafting and presentation skills.

Economic justice Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)
Background:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

Under its existing Strategic Note 2024-2028, PNG Country Office continues to deliver programmes that are aligned to global norms, policies and standards under four thematic areas; Women’s leadership and political participation; Women’s Economic Empowerment; Ending Violence Against Women; Women, Peace, Security and Humanitarian Actions

UN Women’s work on economic empowerment has focused on strengthening informal economy markets- their management, working conditions, recovering women’s incomes and opportunities for business diversification. UN Women has continued to contribute to improving working conditions for women informal traders through capacity building for market managers, promoting women’s inclusion in governance, and raising public awareness of hygiene and women’s rights. Furthermore, UN Women has supported recovery of women’s incomes through financial literacy, business skills development and access to finance.

Key to labour force participation and employment rates for women is their engagement in agriculture and fishing for household consumption in rural areas, where some 87 per cent of the population is concentrated. Limited access to formal sector opportunities restricts economic growth, especially for women, who face both formal and sociocultural barriers to formal employment, including GBV[i]. As a result, most women engage only in the informal sector, primarily in agriculture and micro- and small-scale retail. Meanwhile, women who enter the formal sector struggle to reach management level: just 13.8% of firms had a woman as a top manager in 2015. Estimates indicate that if women had equal employment opportunities, PNG’s GDP per capita could be 20.8% higher. Financial inclusion is growing rapidly across the country, partly because of the expansion of mobile banking services, but as with economic participation, women’s financial inclusion lags behind men’s.

UN Women is seeking to engage a consultant to lead the design of the women’s economic empowerment strategy in alignment with agreed priorities in the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2024-2028). In particular, the role requires strong knowledge and experience in developing and implementing initiatives focused on business development and women’s financial inclusion, women’s voice and agency and social protection. It also requires supporting and developing mutually reinforcing partnerships with relevant regional bodies, Government counterparts, UN organisations, private sector, financial institutions, and CSOs – including deeper understanding of emerging issues in financing for gender equality.

Education:
Master’s degree or equivalent in Economics, Business Studies, International Relations, Development Studies or related field is required.

Experience:

At least 5 years of progressively responsible work experience at the national or international level in design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development projects;

Technical experience in informal economy engagement, mSME development, financial inclusion.

Background
The Violence Prevention and Response Unit (VPRU) is one of IRC's four Technical Units, bringing together Child Protection, Women's Protection and Empowerment, and Protection Rule of Law across over 35 countries. VPRU is increasingly strengthening connective tissue across GBV, child protection, and case management through a shared social work systems lens, in service of IRC's Safety Strategy. IRC's Technical Excellence teams offer five core services to IRC country programs: Program Design, Quality Assurance, Business Development, Research and Learning, and External Influence.

Job Overview
The WPE field is at a strategic inflection point. The humanitarian system is contracting, siloed sectoral programming by default is under scrutiny, and the organizations that will define the next decade of protection practice are those that can ground a social work systems approach in feminist practice, building connective tissue with child protection, rule of law, and case management bridge prevention and response as two expressions of a single protective logic , and take seriously the financing of services for those most at risk of violence as a structural condition of impact rather than a donor-cycle variable.

Desired Experience and Skills
Core WPE and GBV expertise (required)

Established or growing recognition as an expert at regional or global level, with 12+ years of progressive experience designing, leading, and implementing programs, including 7+ years in GBV/WPE is required. Additional experience in social work, social welfare systems, or case management practice would be an asset.

Strong track record of driving uptake of evidence-based practice.

Demonstrated experience in sectoral strategy design and planning; experience with policy and advocacy efforts and campaigns for change.

General leadership and management

Ability to shape the transformative vision and agenda, complemented with excellent and an ability to identify and convert business development opportunities and the necessary communication, influencing, and storytelling skills to turn this vision into action ;

Demonstrated capacity to lead, grow and sustain high performing teams, including through transition

Demonstrated for self and staff; to influence across a wide range of diverse stakeholders; and to within the domain area.

Demonstrated comfort engaging non-transactionally across donors, civil society, social justice movements, financing organizations, and academic communities: building and sustaining relationships as a basis for influence and trust over time.

An understanding of innovation that transcends technology, behavior change and comfort with disruptive thinking

Fluency in English required. Arabic, French, and/or Spanish welcome. Fluency in Farsi, Urdu, Swahili, Bambara, or other languages dominant in IRC's programming footprint is celebrated as a form of professional capital: speakers of these languages bring proximity to the realities of the women and girls we serve that expands technical expertise .

Education
Master's/post-graduate degree in Social Work, Social Policy, Gender Studies, International Law, Human Rights Law, International Development, Public Administration, or a related field required, or an equivalent combination of education and work experience demonstrating comparable depth.

Education Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)
Depuis son indépendance, la Côte d’Ivoire a fait de l’éducation une priorité nationale, consacrée par la Loi n°2015-635 du 17 septembre 2015 instituant la scolarisation obligatoire des enfants de 6 à 16 ans. Malgré ces engagements, des disparités de genre persistent dans le système éducatif.

Pour répondre à ces défis, plusieurs initiatives ont été engagées : Plan Stratégique d’Accélération de l’Éducation des Filles (2016-2018), Stratégie Nationale de Réintégration des filles enceintes ou mères (SNREF 2020-2024), création de la Direction de l’Égalité et de l’Équité du Genre (DEEG) en 2018, et adoption en 2020 d’une Politique Genre du MENA articulée autour de 5 axes (mobilisation sociale, environnement protecteur, accès aux filières STM, alphabétisation, partenariats/plaidoyer).

C’est dans ce cadre que s’inscrit le Programme de Renforcement du Système Éducatif de Base (PRSEB), visant à améliorer la qualité de l’éducation et la scolarisation/maintien de tous les enfants, en particulier les filles. Les États Généraux de l’Éducation Nationale et de l’Alphabétisation (EGENA), à travers leur Thématique 2 (Inclusion, équité et genre), ont par ailleurs formulé des recommandations concrètes pour réduire les barrières discriminatoires. Malgré ces avancées, des défis structurels demeurent, justifiant l’élaboration par le MENAET des Plans d’Actions Prioritaires Régionaux Genre (PAP_REG) sur la scolarisation et le maintien des élèves, en particulier des filles.

Objectif général
L’objectif général de cette consultance est d’apporter un appui au Ministère de l’Éducation Nationale, de l’Alphabétisation et de l’Enseignement Technique (MENAET) pour l’élaboration des Plans d’Actions Prioritaires Régionaux Genre (PAP_REG) en faveur de la scolarisation et du maintien des filles au collège

PROFIL DU/DE LA CONSULTANT(E) INDIVIDUEL(LE)

Être titulaire au minimum d’un Bac+4 dans le domaine des sciences sociales (sociologie, éducation, anthropologie, gestion, économie ou domaine équivalent), critère éliminatoire ;

Avoir 10 années d’expérience générale ;

Avoir au moins quatre missions d’expérience en analyse des systèmes éducatifs, évaluation de programme et pilotage de projets ;

Avoir au moins deux missions en lien avec la scolarisation des filles ainsi que la prise en compte des questions de genre ;

Justifier d’au moins deux missions de conseil et d’appui technique en genre et éducation auprès de ministères en charge de l’éducation, d’ONG et de bailleurs ;

Posséder une connaissance des problématiques de l’éducation, de scolarisation des filles, de discriminations basées sur le genre et des indicateurs ODD ;

Être capable d’animer des ateliers de restitutions et consultations multi acteurs ;

Background
Landesa is an international nonprofit dedicated to ending global poverty by securing land rights for rural communities around the globe.

Landesa leads the GESI capacity building component of the Women’s Land Rights Initiative (WLRI) in Liberia. The component seeks to comprehensively transfer knowledge and skills on gender equality and social inclusion to the institutions and actors who shape land governance, particularly Community Land Development and Management Committees (CLDMCs), Community Forest Management Bodies (CFMBs) and traditional leaders, so that they take account of the interests of women, youth and persons with disabilities in their community-facing interactions. By embedding GESI capacity in CLDMCs, CFMBs, traditional authorities and county offices, the WLRI helps the institutions responsible for customary land represent all members of their communities and deliver land administration services equitably. The GESI component consists of GESI training for County Land offices and Forestry Development Authority (FDA) county offices; GESI training for CLDMCs and CFMBs; GESI training for women, youth, and persons-with-disabilities (PWD) leaders; and grievance and dispute training and help desk setup. The WLRI began in June 2026 and ends in June 2027. It targets 24 customary communities from eight counties in Liberia.

Landesa is seeking applications from consultants to support Monitoring & Evaluation of the Landesa-led GESI component of the WLRI. Assessments of changes in duty-bearers’ knowledge due to the trainings will be conducted over the course of the WLRI. Qualitative research activities will be conducted in the last quarter of the initiative to assess changes in duty-bearers’ capacities to advance the rights and interests of women, youth, and persons with disabilities in community land and natural resource governance and to identify lessons learned and recommendations for similar future initiatives. The qualitative research activities will also include a small number of questions to be developed by the WLRI partners on a separate project component piloting Residential Area registration in the communities.

The Consultant will have primary responsibility for: quantitative analysis of data collected before and after trainings for the knowledge change assessments; design, conduct, and data-analysis of the qualitative research activities; write-up of a learning synthesis report; and facilitating learning & reflection discussions with the WLRI-Landesa staff over the course of the work.

Preferred qualifications

Candidates with minimum 5 years’ experience conducting Monitoring, Evaluation, & Learning of rural development projects in Liberia will be given high preference.

Strong skills in qualitative research methods (i.e., facilitation of key informant interviews and focus group discussions, analysis of rich qualitative data)

Proficiency in quantitative analysis, particularly as it concerns entering and analyzing data in Excel.

Familiarity with gendered livelihood, governance, and tenure concepts

Strong writing skills

Current knowledge of Liberia’s customary land governance context, including community land formalization processes, CLDMCs, CFMBs, traditional authorities, county land offices, and gender equality and social inclusion considerations affecting women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

Supreme Court decisions form part of the law of the land and play a critical role in shaping the rights, opportunities, and lived experiences of women and marginalized groups. Judicial pronouncements can either reinforce or challenge gender-based inequalities by influencing legal interpretations of equality, autonomy, power, and citizenship. Recognizing the judiciary's significant role in advancing gender justice, EU-GOJUST supported the conduct and publication of the “Legal Feminism in Philippine Gender Jurisprudence” Study in 2022, which examined Philippine gender jurisprudence through the lens of feminist legal theory. Using feminist legal methods and various schools of feminist jurisprudence, the study analyzed 153 Supreme Court decisions from 2006 to 2022 across key areas such as marriage and family, violence against women and children, rape, sexual harassment, LGBTQIA+ issues, labor, and gendered language and representations. The analysis sought to identify how feminist perspectives were reflected in judicial reasoning and to contribute to a deeper understanding of gender-responsive adjudication.

While the original study provides important insights into the ways feminist legal methods and jurisprudential perspectives are reflected in Supreme Court jurisprudence covering the said period, a follow-up study is necessary to determine whether and how gender-responsive adjudication continues to evolve in subsequent years. To support evidence-based and gender-responsive reforms in the Supreme Court, IDLO will engage a Legal Feminism in Jurisprudence Researcher to conduct a follow-up study on selected Philippine Supreme Court decisions issued between Q3 of 2022 and Q3 of 2026. Building on the findings of the 2022 Legal Feminism in Philippine Gender Jurisprudence Study, the researcher will analyze recent jurisprudence across selected thematic areas to identify emerging trends, assess progress and persistent gaps in the application of gender-sensitive legal reasoning, and determine whether feminist perspectives have become more deeply embedded in Supreme Court adjudication.

Job Requirements
Educational Background
Advanced University Degree (Master’s equivalent) in Law, Gender Studies, Human Rights, Public Policy, Social Sciences, Development Studies, or other relevant fields.

At least 7 years of professional experience in gender justice, legal research, jurisprudential analysis, human rights, or other related fields.

Proven expertise in applying feminist legal methods, gender, analysis frameworks, and intersectional approaches in legal and jurisprudential policy research.
