New York, New York, United States UN Women Full time
Background

Spotlight Initiative is the United Nations high-impact initiative to end violence against women and girls.

Launched with a seed funding commitment of €500 million from the European Union, the Initiative represents an unprecedented global effort to invest in gender equality and women's empowerment as a precondition and driver for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Under the stewardship of the UN Deputy Secretary-General, the Spotlight Initiative's core UN agencies are UN Women, UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF.

Other UN agencies, funds and programmes play key roles in implementing its programmes, such as ILO under the Initiative's Safe and Fair programme in the ASEAN region


The Spotlight Initiative is responding to all forms of violence against women and girls, with a particular focus on domestic and family violence, sexual and gender-based violence and harmful practices, femicide, trafficking in human beings and sexual and economic (labour) exploitation.

The Spotlight Initiative is addressing legislative and policy gaps, strengthening institutions, promoting gender-equitable attitudes, and providing quality services for survivors and reparations for victims of violence and their families.

Interventions will also strengthen systems for collecting data on violence against women and girls and empower women's movements.

The Spotlight Initiative Secretariat is seeking a Communications Intern to assist in developing Gen Z-focused social media content, campaigns and partnerships – in support of its global communications strategy.

3. Review content metrics and analytics

  • Regularly evaluate the performance of content and campaigns to refine strategies and optimize results.

Note:
*In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.

*At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need.

*If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.

*UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women's policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.)
