IWRAW Asia Pacific 2022 Vacancy and Internship Opportunities 2022
IWRAW Asia Pacific is an international women’s rights, feminist organisation committed to the full realisation of women’s human rights through the pursuit of equality. Their politics push us to disrupt the forces of anti-rights, right-wing populism and extremism, and corporate and state capture. Together with women’s groups and marginalised communities in the Global South, they challenge structures, systems and institutions that violate women’s human rights, and organise, mobilise and collaboratively build a body of political knowledge and analysis, so as to demand accountability of state and non-state actors.
They root our praxis in feminist values of diversity and inclusion, equality and non-discrimination, respect and integrity, and in the value of recognising the personal strength of women and girls and having faith in ourselves and in other women. Intersectionality is a key part of our advocacy and strategies. They aim in all our work to take into account the multiple forms of discrimination and exclusion that impact the lives of women and marginalised communities in the Global South.

Five Jury Working Groups will hear the lived experiences and unique struggles of women workers before drafting their findings and recommendations addressed to national and international duty-bearers. The Legal Assistant will work closely with the Jury Working Groups as they formulate their recommendations. The Terms of Reference for this role can be found in both Word and PDF formats
