Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
Organizational Context and Scope:
The Inter-Agency Whole of Syria (WoS) Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH Network) is a multi-donor Grant implemented by IOM on behalf of the humanitarian community across all active Syria hubs (Gaziantep for Northwest Syria (NWS), Damascus for Government of Syria controlled areas (GoS), and Amman for Northeast Syria (NES). Under this structure, the PSEAH Network has been mandated to operationalize Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (SEAH) prevention, mitigation, and response obligations and accountabilities appropriate for the context of the humanitarian response in Syria. The PSEAH programme is designed to cover diverse contexts through an established, robust interagency PSEAH Network consisting of more than 350 focal points from 186 UN agencies, INGOs and NGOs, and clusters/working groups.
A common challenge among member organization and humanitarian actors in Syria is the limited understanding of the applicable national legal and regulatory framework surrounding PSEAH in the various response areas of Syria. While PSEAH is generally addressed through organizations institutional framework surrounding sexual misconduct, some acts that are defined as SEAH may constitute crimes under national legal frameworks and be subject to criminal investigation and prosecution. In order to strengthen legal assistance to survivors of SEAH, as well as to further engage with Government stakeholders, local authorities, and other actors it is important to have guidance on the applicable legal provisions to the context. This will also support relevant partners in the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Area of Responsibility (AoR), Child Protection (CP) AoR and other related sectors to support capacity-building and advocacy efforts in Syria.
Under the supervision of the NES PSEAH Coordinator, the successful candidate will support the programme in strengthening the knowledge on applicable legal framework to PSEAH in the different hubs of the Syria humanitarian response.
