Consultant (f/m/d) for the Conduction of a Study: Strong Female Voices in a United Syria

The project “Strong Female Voices in a United Syria” aims to strengthen the capacity of media workers and civil society representatives to counter disinformation and gender-based violence online through a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach. Building on lessons from successful regional projects, the project will adopt an interdisciplinary methodology, bringing together diverse experts to co-create solutions tailored to the Syrian context. A key element will be an ongoing network to promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing. As there is little data on gender-based violence, its players, narratives and possible response strategies in Syria, a study is needed which will form the foundation of the project.
