****************************************
Tread lightly. Sing gentle songs. Do not drown our voices. All beings
are not yet completed. Not even humans are fully shaped.
Kerstin Ekman, The Forest of Hours, 1999
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 7th 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):
Bosnie-Herzégovine
Gambie
Qatar
Fiji
Iran
Irak
Italy
Kazakhstan
San Marino
Slovenia
- 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.
Please send us your organizations mission a 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:
alejandra (at) mulabi org.
We will receive applications ONLY until JUNE 30. Please feel free to
write to us in English, French or Spanish.
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.
