Organization: The International Women's Rights Action Watch (IWRAW) Asia-Pacific
Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The International Women’s Rights Action Watch (IWRAW) Asia-Pacific is hiring Programme Officer for Economic and Environmental Justice. The Programme Officer will support the IWRAW Asia-Pacific team with the implementation of two projects under TrEAD: the Gender Equality and Macroeconomics Project, coordinated by the Bretton Woods Project and funded by the Hewlett Foundation; and a Ford Plus Grant project, entitled Towards a Global Financial System that Advances a Rights-Based Economy. We are also interested in strengthening connections between the TrEAD and Environmental Justice programmes, with the specific direction of this cross-programme work led by the requests and inputs of our partners on the frontlines of environmental degradation and climate change.
Both programmes work with the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) as a tool to advance feminist policy alternatives, strengthen State accountability for detrimental impacts of conventional macroeconomics policies and climate change on women’s human rights, and as an advocacy for women to claim their rights and shape international human rights standards.
