The Sexual Rights Initiative (SRI).
Closing date: August 22, 2009.
About us:
The Sexual Rights Initiative (SRI) was created in 2006. Its aim is to create
a political space for advocacy on sexual rights by bringing together
feminist, LGBTI, southern and northern perspectives and incorporating
diverse views without privileging particular experiences. The collaborating
partners are Action Canada for Population and Development (ACPD), Creating
Resources for Empowerment in Action (CREA), Mulabi Espacio Latinoamericano
de Sexualidades y Derechos, Polish Federation for Women and Family Planning
and others.
The major forum for our work is the United Nations Human Rights Council that
offers many more opportunities for State and non-state actors to influence
the development and implementation of international law and standards
through the United Nations human rights mechanisms. It is an increasingly
important venue to develop and advance sexual rights as a critical part of
the international human rights framework.
The Sexual Rights Initiative aims to work in a collaborative manner that is
based on genuine sharing and open discussion around issues of power, access
and resources. It intends to frame sexual rights as both a set of particular
rights and as a cross-cutting issue, including the traditional framework of
sexual and reproductive rights issues (reproductive rights, HIV/AIDS, sexual
orientation and gender identity and so on), but also analyzing sexual rights
within a comprehensive human rights framework. Hopefully, it will result in
stronger and more comprehensive international legal norms that will in turn
be implemented at national and regional levels.
Job Description:
The Sexual Rights Initiative (SRI) looks for organizations, researchers
and/or activists interested in producing brief reports (5 pages) on pressing
concerns in their countries with respect to Sexual Rights issues, including
but not limited to- reproductive rights, sexual diversity, sexuality
education, HIV/AIDS, etc- to be submitted for the 8th round of the Universal
Periodic Review in the UN Human Rights Council.
We look for organizations, activists and/or researchers who:
- Work on Sexual Rights as a broad notion, and/or
- Work on any issues engaging rights to sexual autonomy and free and full
decision-making as to all matters of sexuality and are willing to think
outside the box of their particular area of expertise to approach Sexual
Rights as a whole notion.
- Live and work in any of the following countries ONLY (as these are the
countries to be reviewed):
- Armenia
- Belarus
- Grenada
- Guyana
- Haiti
- Spain
- Sweden
- Turkey
- No institutional affiliation is required for individuals applying as
activists/researchers but if the activist/researcher is affiliated with a
particular organization/network and wants to submit her/his report on behalf
of the group, it will be acceptable to SRI.
- If, for whatever reason, the organization, activists and/or researcher
wants to remain anonymous, SRI will submit the report only on its own
behalf.
Those applicants with the required profile will be asked to sign a contract
where their obligations as well as ours will be outlined. They will also
receive full instructions to draft their reports and model reports to take
as reference. SRI will pay an honorarium of US$ 500 to the organization,
activist and/or researcher.
The Report can be written in English or French.
This is an Affirmative Action initiative. Women, Trans and Intersex people,
as well as those younger than 30, will be given priority consideration.
However, this should not discourage qualified men as well as all persons
older than 30 from applying as they will also be considered if no suitable
priority applicants exist for a particular country/countries.
To Apply:
Please send us your organizations mission, a brief description of your
current activities or your Resumé if you are applying as an individual
activist/researcher, as well as (in both cases) a brief note explaining why
you are interested in this initiative to:
*mulabisri (at) mulabi.org*
* *and *yov_07 (at) yahoo.com* .
*We will receive applications ONLY until AUGUST 22, 2009. *Please feel free
to write to us in English, French or Spanish.
