About the Job
\n1. Background about NEWA<\/p>\n
The Network of Ethiopian Women\u2019s Associations (NEWA) is a non-partisan, non-governmental national network established in 2003, comprising over 55 member organizations working across Ethiopia to promote gender equality and women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n
NEWA plays a critical role in coordinating advocacy, strengthening institutional capacities, and amplifying the voices of women\u2019s organizations. As part of its strategic focus, NEWA implements programs aimed at preventing and responding to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), particularly in conflict-affected and vulnerable settings.<\/p>\n
With support from development partners, NEWA is implementing interventions to improve legal frameworks, service delivery systems, and accountability mechanisms for SGBV survivors. However, there remains a critical need to document lived experiences of women affected by conflict and SGBV to inform advocacy, policy influence, and program design.<\/p>\n
2. Background of the Assignment<\/p>\n
Conflict situations in Ethiopia have significantly exacerbated risks of SGBV, disrupted essential services, and left many survivors without adequate support. Despite ongoing interventions, there is limited systematic documentation of survivor experiences and the real impact of conflict on women and girls.<\/p>\n
Story-based advocacy through documented case stories and visual storytelling (documentaries), is a powerful approach to influence stakeholders, raise awareness, and mobilize resources for improved SGBV services.<\/p>\n
This assignment is therefore designed to generate high-quality, ethical, and survivor-centered case stories and produce a compelling documentary that highlights the realities faced by women in conflict-affected regions including Amhara (Ambasel, Werebabo and Albuko), Tigray (Mekele, Adigudom and Hagereselam)<\/p>\n
