ABOUT EQUALITY NOW: 
At Equality Now, we aspire to create a world in which women and men have equal rights under the law and full enjoyment of their human rights. Our mission is gender equality. And how we get there matters. Here are the values behind everything we do.

PORTFOLIO/TEAM OVERVIEW: 
The Equal Justice Academy (EJA) is a new initiative of Equality Now.  The training division, which sits within it, is designed to build feminist legal capacity and jurisprudence, strengthen advocacy ecosystems and cultivate collaborative connections across regions.  The EJA comprises four different departments, each strategically interconnected  to progress our mission through learning, with the training division focused on enabling the next generation of feminist lawyers and judges and as a consequence shaping gender-sensitive, survivor-centred laws, jurisprudence and legal processes.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The following is a general outline of duties and responsibilities for this role to be undertaken in collaboration with the Director, EJA. It is not an exhaustive list, and additional duties may be assigned or removed at the reasonable discretion of the ​Director EJA.

Engagement: Collaborate

  • Liaise with Equality Now colleagues and partners to ensure high-quality content, evaluation frameworks and continuous positive impact and improvement that align with Equality Now’s mission and Theory of Change 
  • Develop feedback loops to ensure learnings from the trainings are brought into other areas of the EJA and to Equality Now as a whole and incorporated into future work

Delivery: Manage the Project Cycle
  • Ensure content is delivered in a timely way and is inclusive, intersectional, trauma-informed and grounded in international and regional legal standards
  • Guide faculty, trainers and alumnae mentors to deliver transformative learning experiences
