ABOUT IWDA

IWDA is an Australian-based organisation, resourcing diverse women’s rights organisations, primarily in Asia and the Pacific, and contributing to global feminist movements to advance our vision of gender equality for all.

VISION: Gender equality for all

PURPOSE: To defend and advance the rights of diverse women and girls

VALUES: Feminist, Accountable, Collaborative, Transformative

OUR GOALS 2020-2023:

1.      Resource and contribute to a resilient and vibrant feminist movement

2.      Promote systemic change towards gender equality for all

3.      Build a resilient and relevant feminist organisation

IWDA works in partnership with gender equality focused organisations in Asia and the Pacific; with international women’s movement coalitions; and with government and academic institutions in Australia to address the practical and structural barriers to gender equality. IWDA’s partnership work seeks to achieve transformational systemic change in order to realise our vision of gender equality for all.

As part of this contribution, we take actions to decolonise our approach to feminism and development. We want to become the best we can be in the world at north-south partnerships.  This means we seek to understand and leverage our locational power so that we know when to:

STEP UP: and use our power to leverage resources and access for women’s rights organisations, and make our own contribution to feminist movements

STAND WITH: feminist movements in solidarity and amplify the work of global south actors

STEP BACK: when others are better placed to take the lead.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The We Rise Coalition is a partnership between seven feminist organisations working to advance gender equality and the human rights of women and people of diverse sexual orientations, women with disabilities, gender identities and expressions, and sexual characteristics in the Oceanic Pacific.

The We Rise Coalition works together through the We Rise Program, which is now in its third phase (‘We Rise 3’), funded by DFAT through PWSPD and now Pacific Women Lead.  At the center of the We Rise Coalition is a commitment to building and sustaining women’s collective voice and power through movements.

The Coalition operates at two levels: each organization implements their individual program activities, and the coalition members also works together on joint, regionally focused activities.

The role of the Regional Coalition Activity Coordinator is to support the implementation of the We Rise Coalition regional activities. The Steering Committee determines the priority actions for the joint work of the Coalition, and the Coordinator will coordinate the implementation of these activities.

The Regional Activity Coordinator will provide regular reports to the We Rise Steering Committee and their work plan and priorities structured to meet that of the Coalition priorities.

This position is hosted by IWDA in Melbourne Australia for the remainder of Phase 3. The role and hosting will be reviewed during the planning for Phase 4 of the program.

The position will sit within the Partnerships team in the Systemic Change & Partnerships Team and will be supervised by the Senior Program Manager. The We Rise Regional Activity Coordinator will work within the expectations and culture of the IWDA office and team.
