Job o' the Day: IRC Senior Gender Advisor in Haiti
Now is not the time to turn our backs on Haiti. Serve as a Senior Gender Advisor for the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
Since its inception in 1933, the IRC has been a global leader in emergency response and providing durable solutions for conflict- and crisis-affected populations. The IRC launched programs in Haiti immediately following the January 2010 earthquake, deploying its emergency response team to respond to survivors’ most critical needs. Since that time, the IRC has developed multi-sectoral programming addressing needs in and around Port-au-Prince. Currently, the IRC implements programs focused on child protection; protection and services for women and girls; access to justice; livelihoods development and Cash-for-Work; environmental health; and camp management.
IRC is currently preparing a proposal in response to a USAID-funded request for applications to improve safety and security for women, children and youth in Haiti through decreased incidence of human rights abuse and expanded access to treatment and care. The Senior Gender Advisor* will provide overall direction and guidance to all aspects of the Protecting the Rights of Children, Women and Youth Program with a focus on the protection of women and girls.
*This position is contingent on the IRC being awarded funding and is anticipated to begin around October 5, 2011.
