Gender-based violence is among the greatest protection challenges individuals, families, and communities face during humanitarian emergencies. UNFPA Bangladesh is leading the response to meet the GBV needs of the Forcefully Displaced Myanmar Nationals. Integrating GBV concerns into the humanitarian response is important to reduce inequalities and gender biases in humanitarian response that occur because of the inadequate analysis of dynamics of social/gender relations and how these are interpreted and reflected by humanitarian actors in service provision. Women and girls in Bangladesh continue to be affected by gendered discriminatory norms and practices which impact on their capacity to access services and information in key sectors of operation in the country.
UNFPA is seeking to recruit a GBV Specialist, Mainstreaming IASC GBV Guidelines to be based in Cox’s Bazar. The GBV programme associate will work under the direct supervision of the GBViE Specialist/GBViE Lead in Cox’s Bazar Office. S/he will ensure direct support to the GBV in Emergency (GBViE) Programme at Cox’s Bazar District with frequent travel to emergency-affected districts as and when required. S/he will provide technical capacity-building support to the implementation of training and other activities related to mainstreaming GBV concerns into humanitarian response planning.
