Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Organization: Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA)
Deadline: May 27, 2025
Job Description
Background: The Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA) is one of the pioneering national civil society networks in Ethiopia, dedicated to promoting women’s political, economic, social, and legal rights. Currently, NEWA encompasses 50 member associations and organizations operating across the country, all focused on creating an enabling environment for the empowerment of Ethiopian women and girls. These member associations strive to advance women’s rights, gender equality, and women’s empowerment.
NEWA has significant experience in leading efforts related to women’s rights in Ethiopia through advocacy, research, capacity building, and monitoring government compliance with gender equality initiatives. As a network organization, NEWA actively advocates for the development and effective implementation of gender-sensitive policies, laws, and programs at both national and regional levels.
NEWA, in partnership with Spanish Development Cooperation, is implementing a project titled “Strengthen the Participation and Leadership of Women’s Rights Organizations in Response to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.” As part of this capacity-building initiative, NEWA aims to establish a Safe Space Facilitation Guideline for Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs) operating throughout Ethiopia.
This guideline will be translated into local languages to ensure accessibility, enabling WROs to deliver consistent and effective services. The Safe Space Facilitation Guideline Book will serve as a comprehensive resource, outlining best practices and strategies for facilitating safe spaces. This guide will empower WROs to create inclusive environments where individuals can share experiences, access support, and engage in healing processes.
