About the job

Title: Gender Training Consultant for Shelter Staff

USAID Thailand CTIP: Thailand

Title: Gender Training Consultant for Shelter Staff

Type of Contract: Fixed Price Duration of Contract: 7 months Closing Date: August 16, 2024

Background

USAID Thailand Counter Trafficking in Persons project (USAID Thailand CTIP) seeks to reduce trafficking in persons (TIP) and to better protect the rights of trafficked persons in Thailand by reducing demand and incentives for using trafficked labor, empowering at-risk populations to safeguard their rights and strengthening protection systems for survivors. As a source, transit, and destination country for TIP, Thailand is impacted by this crime in various ways. USAID Thailand CTIP strengthens collaboration among the public and private sectors and civil society to promote a rights-based approach to victim identification and assistance. This includes developing and providing a training for shelter staff on good practices and enhanced understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) survivors of TIP. By ensuring that trafficked persons are identified and receive the support they need, their rights will be better protected, and they will be less at risk of being re-victimized.

Objectives

The USAID Thailand CTIP project is seeking a consultant to develop and deliver a training for TIP shelter staff. The consultant will engage with government-run TIP shelter staff on good practices and enhanced understanding of LGBTQI+ needs and support. As a result, staff at 9 TIP shelters will recognize and be able to apply the gender-sensitive principles for LGBTQI+ survivors in shelters.

· Lead a pilot training with a determined group of shelter staff to collect feedback on the modules.
