Title                  :  Consultant to Establish Inclusion Task Force

Duty Station      :  Jakarta, Indonesia

Report to          :  Project Manager

Duration            :  15 (fifteen) working days from mid July 2021 to August 2021

 

 

Background

 

Human rights defenders (HRDs) in Indonesia face restrictions on their freedom of expression and assembly, and often face stigma, intimidation, criminal defamation and blasphemy charges, arbitrary arrest, and even torture or killings. However, after the incidents that occurred in 2016, the situation for HRDs working specifically on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE) rights has become increasingly perilous. The belief is that a strong support network of individuals from various backgrounds and fields, from religious leaders and the media, to lawmakers and politicians, will help to improve the operating environment for organizations and individuals working on human rights, and specifically on SOGIE rights. 

 

Hivos, along with co-beneficiary Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Masyarakat (LBHM), is implementing a project entitled FEARLESS: Free, Empowered, and Resilient Human Rights Defenders. The project has the overall objective to support the fulfilment of the rights of HRDs and civil society organizations (CSOs) to protect and promote human rights in Indonesia. This project aims to promote non-discrimination in Indonesia through cultivating an enabling environment for HRDs to conduct their work freely, while strengthening their capacity to prepare for and respond to threats. The action is being implemented at the national level, as well as in the provinces of West Java and South Sulawesi, areas where marginalized groups and human rights organizations have faced increased threats to freedom and association.

 

Hivos is seeking a consultant that will facilitate the establishment of an "Inclusion Task Force" of national-level politicians and law-makers committed to promoting non-discriminatory policy and the rights of minorities. This Inclusion Task Force will be made up of at least ten (10) members. Meetings with members of the Inclusion Task Force are intended to provide a platform for key actors and allies to meet and discuss issues of diversity and inclusion, especially the protection of minority groups. It will also be a platform to discuss strategies, policies, and programs to protect the rights of the most marginalized and vulnerable groups. From these series of meetings, engaged members of this task force meetings are expected to provide public and political support to institutions and actors and encouraged to conduct public events of their own, to respond to most pressing conflicts, issues, or themes that arise in the Task Force meetings.
