LGBTQI+ rights/ SOGIESC
About IGLYO

Founded in 1984 and based in Brussels, IGLYO is the largest member-based network in the world dedicated to LGBTQI youth and their rights. Today, we gather over 125 Member Organisations in more than 40 Council of Europe countries, as well as countless friends and partners worldwide. Our work focuses on the protection, empowerment, and freedom of LGBTQI young people between 18-30 years old.

Background

LGBTQI youth continue to face significant barriers to full and equitable participation in sports, and sports environments often remain exclusionary and unsafe spaces for LGBTQI young people. Marginalisation, homophobia, and transphobia are still prevalent in many sports settings, discouraging participation and limiting access to opportunities for personal and professional development. LGBTQI young people come from diverse backgrounds, with their experiences shaped by intersecting factors such as gender identity, race, disability, and socioeconomic status. IGLYO recognises the compounded barriers that LGBTQI youth face in sports environments and structures due to homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, class, and other forms of discrimination.

To address these challenges, IGLYO is commissioning a Qualitative Research Study on LGBTQI Inclusion in Sports to document LGBTQI young people’s experiences in sports (including formal and non-formal education). This research will explore key themes such as discrimination, access to safe and affirming sports environments (including in formal and non-formal education), the impact of exclusionary policies, and best practices for fostering inclusion. The findings will contribute to ongoing advocacy efforts at the European level, informing policy discussions on LGBTQI inclusion in sports and supporting the development of more inclusive and equitable sports environments and structures.

Research Goals

This qualitative research study aims to assess the barriers LGBTQI youth encounter in school and community-based sports settings while identifying pathways towards safer, more inclusive and affirming environments.

The consultant will:

Assess the needs, barriers and discrimination experienced by LGBTQI youth related to inclusion/exclusion in sports.

Identifying best practices for fostering LGBTQI inclusion in sports that could serve as inspiration for youth organisations, sports and educational institutions, and policymakers.

Provide evidence-based recommendations in coordination with IGLYO.

Develop a comprehensive 20-page narrative report.

Meet with the IGLYO Policy and Research team and other relevant stakeholders to guide the research process and ensure alignment with advocacy efforts.

Eligibility Criteria

The consultant should demonstrate that they fulfil the following criteria:

Demonstrated experience in conducting qualitative data collection and analysis with LGBTQI communities and/or other marginalised groups, particularly in the context of sports, youth, or inclusion.

Strong understanding of the barriers and needs of LGBTQI youth in sports, with a proven record of incorporating an intersectional approach in research methods.

Familiarity with relevant policy frameworks related to LGBTQI inclusion, youth empowerment, and sports policies at the national and European levels.

Proven experience in storytelling-based qualitative research, including narrative analysis and in-depth interviewing techniques.

Excellent analytical and writing skills, with experience in drafting research reports and policy recommendations.

Masculinities
Politics is traditionally a man's world. Despite much progress in recent years, most politicians are still men. What knowledge we have about gender and inequality in politics is mainly based on counting women and men. In contrast, we do not well understand the underlying gendered norms about behavior that is considered inappropriate and appropriate: political masculinities. This project’s research reveals how political masculinities change or persist among voters, elected politicians, leaders, and aspirants. The research results will bring much-needed nuance and depth to a currently polarized but ultimately simplistic debate about gendered inequality in politics. As PhD-student you will study the following research question:

How are masculinities socialized in political parties?

This study teases out how youth wings view present-day masculinities in society, and it examines their evaluation and their expectations of masculinities by the party leadership and the party. How do youth wings try to challenge or reproduce these masculinities within the youth wing and the party?

The primary method of data collection are focus groups. They will be complemented by participant observation and organizational ethnography. Focus groups are well-suited for studying aspirants as they offer less threatening and less hierarchical settings than individual interviews or survey research. This is particularly useful when studying sensitive issues. Based on open-ended focus group protocols, participants will, in conversation with each other, reflect on the research questions, where and why they agree, and where and why they do not. The project will aim for 40 focus group interviews with six to eight members of youth wings (men and women) that are part of political parties across the political spectrum, including progressive, conservative and populist right wing parties and newer identity-based parties. The focus group interviews, which will last approximately two hours, will be held in places that are safe and easy to reach for participants, be it online or offline.
Participant observation is complementary to focus groups and will facilitate access and trust. The PhD-candidate will be ‘hanging around’ in areas where the youth wings or their members meet (congresses, debates, activities, online forums) until the data collection phase is completed. The PhD candidate will conduct organizational ethnography to understand how masculinities are institutionalized within youth wings. The protocol for the organizational ethnography will build on insights from the (ongoing) participant observation and focus groups. Expected data that the PhD-candidate will analyze are written documents, such as statutes and protocols, and norms and values of gender equality (e.g. how young men speak about and threat women and gay members).

WoMin is looking to employ an experienced, passionate womxn who explicitly identifies as feminist, has supported and stood with movements of dispossessed people (especially womxn), and holds a radical vision and practice that goes beyond conventional mainstream liberal and gender mainstream thinking.

It is essential that the person carries a strong feminist identity and has proven experience of work to advance womxn’s rights through struggles. Experience in the building of information materials for community activists, and an ability to design and facilitate political and popular/feminist formation work is critical. They should be able to evidence their contributions to building networks and platforms of convergence with a wide range of allies and partners and should have between 2-3 years’ experience in campaigns building and advocacy. We actively look for someone who has some experience of programmes/projects development, management, and coordination, and can write reports, concept notes and proposals. They should have the ability to work in a team, meet deadlines, problem-solve with others, and work with full accountability to peers, alliance members and local movements/formations.

Personal qualities we seek:
The successful candidate will have a participatory and democratic leadership style but be able to act decisively and firmly when needed.

They will also be organised and accurate and have high integrity and respect for confidentiality. Above all, the successful candidate will have a powerful commitment to social justice and identify as a feminist who links womxn’s oppression to capitalism and colonialism.
