Gender-based violence (GBV)
Introduction
The PROTECT project will promote decent work, while reducing the vulnerabilities of women and children in the context of labour migration, in particular through preventing and responding to violence against women and children, human trafficking and migrant smuggling.

Description of Duties
  • Ensure effective implementation of the project through timely provision of inputs and delivery of outputs, efficient backstopping, and planning, monitoring and evaluation of the project activities in conformity with ILO policies and programme strategies, and in accordance with ILO programming guidelines, and administrative and financial rules and procedures. 
  • Ensure close coordination among the programme management teams across ILO and the other UN agencies (UN Women, UNICEF, UNODC) at the regional level so that collaboration and communication are proactive and effective as well as with regional programmes to ensure integrated and comprehensive interventions. Coordinate closely with relevant programmes in ILO, UN Women, UNODC and UNICEF on migration, child rights, anti-trafficking and violence against women, with country offices and relevant teams in the agencies (including UN Women's EVAW team and ILO's DWT-Bangkok), and other UN agencies, bilateral donors and NGOs, and others with programmes or mandates, to manage migration and combat trafficking. 
  • Closely collaborate with EU delegations in the four project countries, particularly in Thailand and Indonesia, on activities involving ASEAN Secretariat and relevant bodies.
  • Ensure the programme's approaches and interventions are in line with the programme's cross-cutting strategies on women's voice and agency, rights-based approaches, and broad engagement of stakeholders, both within the ILO and UN Women and with programme partners; and that progress against these cross-cutting strategies is reported on and visible.
  • Deliver a programme that focuses on women's labour migration, children’s rights, anti-trafficking and violence against women throughout migration, with sensitivity to the discrimination and violence that many women experience as well as the approaches that help women avoid negative migration experiences.
