\nJob Location: Johannesburg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Duration<\/strong>: Fixed Term Contract 12 months<\/p>\n

ActionAid International is about to embark on an exciting and ambitious\u00a0three-year global campaign on Women\u2019s\u00a0Labour, Decent Work and Public services. In the post\u00a0#MeToo\u00a0world and increased\u00a0public appetite for greater gender equality, ActionAid\u2019s campaign is well-timed, thoughtfully\u00a0and politically\u00a0designed to deliver real and lasting change for women working in the poorest countries, in the global south,\u00a0who are\u00a0overworked, unheard and under-represented.<\/p>\n

The campaign focuses on\u00a0the huge burden on women globally who do most of the unpaid care work of elderly relatives, children, domestic chores,\u00a0which drastically\u00a0effects their economic status. The campaign is about getting governments to recognize this imbalance in their planning for public services and to target women more so that help goes to those who need it most.\u00a0In addition, the campaign\u00a0also focuses on the high prevalence of Gender Based Violence (GBV) perpetrated against women at work, whether they work for national or multinational corporations, in the informal sector, or at home. ActionAid and partners will be demanding the International\u00a0Labour\u00a0Organisation\u00a0(ILO) to agree on a convention against violence and harassment in the workplace. We will be demanding women have decent work, their rights upheld, and\u00a0we\u00a0aim to address the gender pay gap.<\/p>\n

This role will share leadership updates, proactively work with countries on showcasing their best work, and enable peer to peer learning of best practices, across our 45-country organization.
\nWe are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, digitally savvy and proactive individual to help us amplify the successes and wins happening in the countries we work, and to share these stories with the global federation in compelling and engaging ways.<\/p>\n

Part of their duties and responsibilities will include:<\/strong><\/p>\n
