About Wangu Kanja Foundation:
Wangu Kanja Foundation (WKF) is a feminist, survivor-led, and experienced-informed non-profit national organization, established in 2005 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. Although our roots are in Nairobi, our work spans across all 47 counties in Kenya. The foundation was founded by Ms. Wangu Kanja, a Human Rights Champion with 18 years of experience in gender and development. WKF was born out of the personal challenges Ms. Kanja faced after a sexual violence ordeal, particularly in seeking justice. Today, WKF is dedicated to addressing sexual violence through prevention, protection, and response, aiming to restore the dignity of survivors and their families.

About the Program Manager Position:
The Program Manager will play a pivotal role in advancing WKF’s mission to amplify the voices, choices, and agency of survivors of sexual violence towards achieving gender justice.

This includes collecting, analyzing, and reporting on program data, using these insights to inform decision-making and improve program effectiveness. You will also build and maintain relationships with donors, government agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders, identifying opportunities for collaboration and resource mobilization to enhance the impact and sustainability of WKF’s programs.
The financial management aspect of the role will involve developing and managing program budgets in collaboration with the finance team, ensuring compliance with donor regulations and organizational policies. You will monitor program expenditures and prepare financial reports as required.
The successful candidate will be a person of high integrity, with a deep understanding of safeguarding ethics and a commitment to transparent decision-making. You should be a team player with strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to facilitate teamwork, manage conflicts, and encourage continuous learning and knowledge sharing within the organization.

Economic justice

Company Description

Oxfam is a global organization that fights inequality to end poverty and injustice. We offer lifesaving support in times of crisis and advocate for economic justice, gender equality, and climate action. We demand equal rights and equal treatment so that everyone can thrive, not just survive.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Senior Policy Advisor will focus on supporting and shaping two areas: the first is providing policy expertise and guidance for a newly initiated program of work on global post-neoliberal economic thinking. This will involve collaborating strategically with others at Oxfam on a variety of issues that they work on (e.g. international financial architecture; intellectual property and trade rules; and more); on macro-level questions on post-neoliberalism; and driving policy engagement around convenings.

The second is to advance an ambitious agenda in support of public goods and services. This will entail leading work that drives narrative change and supports policy change on universal public goods, public options and public services (e.g. relating to industrial policy, healthcare, energy, transport, and the challenges of private finance) necessary to reducing inequality and fulfilling human rights. To achieve this, it will require undertaking certain activities including:

•Analysis: Prepare and support the drafting of papers and other materials that analyze core issues as noted above, driving fresh and persuasive analysis relevant to tackling inequality within and between countries, and intersecting with climate, economic, gender and racial justice.
•Narrative change: Conceive and deliver strategic work to drive public narrative change on core issues as noted above, including public goods and services. Translate complex economic ideas into eye-catching and accessible messaging.
•Policy change: Support and foster engagement with influential figures, coalition spaces and, where appropriate, policymakers to help secure policy outcomes to combat inequality. Expected to engage issues on public goods and services as an in-house expert and help advance strategic policy change – this will be in international and country-level contexts.
•Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
•Advanced degree in economics, international relations, public policy, or related field, or equivalent combination of education, experience, and training.
•At least 4-6 years of experience working on inequality-related or economic justice issues.
•Relevant experience undertaking policy advocacy and understanding of inequality-related policies.
•Fluency in English
•Demonstrable passion for, and track record in the service of: economic justice, including an understanding of relevant global historical and social contexts
•Strong research and analytical skills relevant to public policy, including demonstrable experience undertaking analysis of inequality issues.
•Experience of issues relating to public goods and services, financialization and / or privatization – preferably at national, regional, and international levels.
•Experience of engaging policy-making processes relating to inequality and / or public goods and services – preferably at national, regional, and international levels.

Child protection/ Children’s rights Education Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' role Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)

Martje Wijers and funded through a Startersbeurs grant.

What are you going to do?

Children's literature plays a crucial role in shaping societal values and cultural norms. Stories serve as a significant means through which beliefs about sociocultural phenomena, such as gender are formed in children. The project Tales and Tongues across Time: A Linguistic Exploration of a Century of Gender Representation in Children's Books in the Netherlands aims to explore how gender representation in the language of children's books has evolved over the past century (1925-2025) in the Netherlands. This study will analyze original Dutch books and translations from English and Scandinavian languages, focusing on linguistic elements like pronouns, nouns, adjectives, and verbs to understand changes in gender portrayal over time and and in the process of translation and transcreation. Applying distant reading methods, the research aims to uncover how societal values reflected in language evolve and impact cultural norms.

Tasks and responsibilities

submission of a PhD thesis within the period of appointment;

compiling a corpus of children's literature

conducting computational linguistic analysis on a large corpus;

participating in meetings of the research group Corpus based and/or Computational Approaches to Language and Literature (CCALL) and possibly other relevant research groups;
