Background

Geneva Call is a neutral and impartial international humanitarian organization dedicated to the protection of civilians in zones of conflict. To achieve this, it engages Armed Groups and De Facto Authorities (AGDAs) to encourage their respect for international humanitarian norms. Through dialogue and innovative tools such as Deeds of Commitment, Geneva Call operates in some of the world’s most challenging conflict zones to reduce human suffering and promote adherence to international humanitarian law (IHL).

Responsibilities & Deliverables

The consultant will carry out the following tasks, structured across four key phases:

Phase 1: Review and Contextual Analysis

Conduct a comprehensive desk review of Geneva Call’s gender-related policies, gender and intersectionality approach, draft frameworks, operational tools, program documentation, MEAL tools, and training materials at both Headquarters and country program levels to identify strengths, gaps, and missed linkages with operational activities.

Design and disseminate a targeted survey for field staff to gather insights on:

Understanding of gender, intersectionality, inclusivity, and other relevant concepts.

Current practices and cultural considerations in the field.

Existing approaches used to engage Armed Groups and De Facto Authorities (AGDAs), target communities, and civil society organizations (CSOs).

Key challenges and opportunities in integrating gender and intersectionality into programming.

Conduct consultations with key HQ and field staff to complement survey findings and gather additional insights—particularly related to existing approaches, institutional capacity, and readiness to implement gender- and inclusion-focused activities.

Phase 2: Conceptual Clarification and Terminology Development

Develop a terminology factsheet grounded in operational relevance, avoiding overly legalistic or abstract definitions.

Clarify definitions of key concepts (e.g., gender, intersectionality, inclusion) using accessible, practical language that can be adapted to the diverse contexts in which Geneva Call operates.

Phase 3: Drafting the Operational Framework and Tools
Phase 4: Validation and Capacity Building

Profile & Qualifications

Advanced degree in gender studies, social sciences, international development, or a related discipline.

Proven track record in developing gender and intersectionality frameworks for protection, preferably in conflict-affected or humanitarian settings.

Strong understanding of gender inclusivity strategies, intersectionality concepts, and their practical application in operational contexts for protection.

Experience designing and implementing participatory research tools such as surveys and facilitating multi-stakeholder consultations.

Familiarity with international humanitarian law, human rights law, protection standards, and gender-related policy frameworks.

Proven skills in designing training sessions and capacity-building initiatives, with experience delivering them remotely and/or in-person.

Ability to translate complex theoretical concepts into clear, accessible, and actionable guidance for diverse audiences.

Movement building
BACKGROUND

The Equality Fund is transforming the way that resources—and power—flow into the hands of women, girls, and trans people worldwide. Designed by feminists for feminists, it is a model for sustainably resourcing feminist movements everywhere, through global grantmaking, gender-lens investing, policy advocacy, and feminist philanthropy. Launched in 2019, the Equality Fund has committed $100 million and, as of 2025, supports over 1000 organizations working in 100 countries globally.

SCOPE OF WORK

The Equality Fund is seeking a consultancy team to provide training to support grantee partners in advancing their digital security and holistic protection through feminist values and praxis.

The training will bring forward good practices for digital security and holistic protection, centering collective care and healing justice as an underpinning value and core activity of the sessions. The facilitator will support participants to explore key topics and themes.

The training will assess grantee partners’ current capacity to determine relevant content and approaches. This assessment will serve as a baseline for determining existing knowledge and skills, and will be useful in helping to measure capacity built over the duration of the training and beyond. The training will then provide grantee partners with support to develop a digital
security strategy, analyzing any gaps in their approaches, and helping to set up activities and actions that will help improve systems and strengthen organizations for their future work. Throughout the training, the Consultant will make recommendations to participants to strengthen digital security strategies. At the end of the training, the Consultant will share recommendations with the Equality Fund (and other donors) to help improve responses and sustainable protections.

The training will be delivered to a collective of partners facing various security risks, and therefore must be developed and implemented with the highest levels of protection for the identities and information of the participants. The successful Consultant must therefore agree to certain security protections, as outlined in their contract agreement.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Relevant tertiary qualification, for example, information technology, development studies, social sciences, or women’s/gender studies.

Track record of successful consultancies that have focused on women’s rights, gender justice in particular, and experience in digital security and in healing justice and collective care, preferably in the Global South. Knowledge of philanthropy and donor spaces is an asset.

Experience facilitating virtual participatory meetings with activists and civil society groups.

Experience developing participatory training approaches.

Strong understanding of women’s and LGBTQI movements and experience working with grassroots/diverse organizations — Strongly Preferred.

Proven written and oral communication skills in English. Bilingual Consultants (French, Spanish, Russian) are encouraged to apply.

Highly efficient and flexible approach to work, with ease in collaborating with others.

Highly organized, analytical, adaptive, and responsive to feedback and changes in direction when needed.

Demonstrated commitment to intersectional feminist approaches and commitment to gender, racial, economic, and global justice.

Ability to work with limited supervision, as part of a small team, and independently.
