About the role

Hopes & Actions Foundation is a women-led digital policy organization dedicated to promoting and defending digital rights in Sudan. Our mission is to unite with activists, a network of civil society organizations, professional groups, communities, and social movements to find a just and sustainable world in this technologically fast-paced development era. We envision a digital society that values and upholds all digital rights. We specifically strive to ensure that women’s and marginalized voices are heard, respected, and protected in the digital realm, fostering a more equitable and inclusive digital environment for social justice.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement a multi-pronged approach to combat online gender-based violence (OGBV) in Sudan.

• Navigate online spaces safely and effectively, ensuring freedom of expression.
• Generate reliable data on OGBV by training participants to track and document cases, fostering a culture of monitoring and accountability.
• Contribute to a vital network documenting online gender-based violence to inform future advocacy efforts towards better legal and digital landscapes.
• Gain in-depth knowledge about qualitative research methodologies in Sudan and technical support to document OGBV cases and write research papers.
• Edit research papers and publish them on the Foundation’s website.
• Share content from these pieces on social media to raise awareness, increase knowledge, and advocate against the misuse of OGBV and cybercrime law to suppress women’s online voices.

• Demonstrated prior professional or voluntary experience working on issues related to gender-based violence (GBV) or women’s rights in general.
• A strong commitment to combating OGBV in Sudan and advocating for women’s rights.
