Campaigner – North Africa
The mobile revolution. Geopolitical power shifts. A radically altered global economy. The world is changing, and so is the way that people fight for their rights. Our East African regional office will work to ensure respect for human rights, and for equal and just societies throughout a vast and diverse geographical area. You’ll provide the support they need to succeed.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a Campaigner to contribute to our campaign against human rights violations in North Africa. Working at the International Secretariat, you will contribute to a range of projects, including Amnesty International's response to the recent momentous changes in North Africa. You will act as a focal point, providing advice and support to our worldwide membership, including devising campaigning strategies, preparing written and other campaigning materials and providing research support.
ABOUT YOU
You will have excellent communication, campaigning and research skills and a demonstrable commitment to human rights. Ideally you will also have specialist knowledge of North Africa and experience of campaigning in a membership organization. While there is no line management responsibility, you will participate in coordinating the work of the team. Along with English, fluency in Arabic or French are essential; it would be highly desirable if you were fluent in both Arabic and French.
ABOUT US
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, human rights and dignity wherever they're denied. Already our network of almost three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we're applying pressure through authoritative research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we're all inspired by hope for a better world. One where the human rights of everyone are respected and protected everywhere.
