Context

Across all thematic areas, addressing gender equality issues faced by young women, including gender-based discrimination, marginalization, violence, unequal access to education and opportunities for leadership and participation, requires active engagement and involvement of youth activists and youth groups, in order to deliver equal gains for youths under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The perspectives and inspiration of youth networks are critical drivers for accelerating progress on sustainable development and gender equality. Under UN Women’s youth and gender equality strategy, UN Women Indonesia is enhancing its efforts establishing National Gender Youths Activists (NGYA) to empower youth leaders and activists as partners in achieving gender equality, and aims to ‘engender’ the youth movement and ‘enyouth’ the women’s movement.

The Volunteer is expected to provide coordination support across all program teams and enhance UN Women’s engagement with the youth network on gender equality in Indonesia, under the direct supervision of the Programme Analyst with overall guidance of the Programme Management Specialist/Head of Programmes.
