Historique

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

A flagship initiative of UN Women, the HeForShe solidarity movement is an international platform that invites and engages men and boys to complement the work of the women’s movement and create an equal world for all. Men hold a disproportionate level of power across cultures globally, but they remain largely absent from the gender equality conversation. Similar to other human rights and social justice movements like Black Lives Matter and LGBTQIA+ equality, gender equality requires action and allyship across all of society. HeForShe invites men and boys to build on the work of the women’s movement as equal partners, crafting and implementing a shared vision of gender equality that will benefit all of humanity.

The UN Women HeForShe initiative is looking for a Data Insights Intern to provide data analysis of its current programs and partnerships to support in the assessment of global, regional and national trends and inform future program planning. This Data Insights Inters will play a key role in harnessing the potential of new methodologies such as big data analysis or social media analysis for data-driven and evidence-based masculinities and male engagement work. This role will support a number of initiative wide projects at a global level and support in laying the foundations for identifying effective ways of engaging men and boys in the efforts to achieve gender equality. Working in a dynamic environment, the graphic designer will also be an efficient time manager capable of juggling a variety of project deadlines.

A selected candidate unable to report to the advertised duty station due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may be approved to undertake this internship remotely.
