Program Officer – GEDSI and Victim Rights

About the Role

The Program Officer – GEDSI and VR works collaboratively with the Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and Victim Rights Director, Leadership Team and country teams to support ASEAN and ASEAN Member states to realise the rights of victims of trafficking and pursue gender-sensitive and inclusive counter-trafficking initiatives.

GEDSI and victim rights are cross-cutting themes and contribute to the achievement of all of ASEAN-ACT’s EOPOs and intermediate outcomes. The position works to support ASEAN and ASEAN Member States to integrate gender-sensitive, child-friendly, trauma-informed, and inclusive approaches to preventing and responding to trafficking in persons.

The role is best suited to a proactive and well-organised team player who has strong experience in project coordination and is interested in a dynamic regional program.

About the program

ASEAN–Australia Counter Trafficking (ASEAN-ACT) continues Australia’s long-running collaboration with ASEAN and its Member States to end human trafficking in the region. The program is a 10-year investment principally working to strengthen the justice sector response to trafficking in persons while advancing the rights of victims. The program has established new partnerships with allied government agencies, civil society, and businesses. We engage with all 10 ASEAN Member States in some capacity and have national-level programming in Cambodia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. We are establishing programming in Indonesia, and it is currently on hold in Myanmar.

ASEAN-ACT supports ASEAN Member States to integrate gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and protect the rights of victims of trafficking. The program has developed GEDSI and victim rights strategies to provide a conceptual framework and practical implementation approach to analyse and respond to GEDSI and victim rights challenges in countering trafficking. As a core component of the program, specific projects and activities to advance GEDSI and victim rights have been designed and are being implemented in collaboration with ASEAN-ACT’s partners and stakeholders.
