Bogota, Colombia Center for Reproductive Rights A tiempo completo

**Job Title**: Senior Advocacy and Gender Adviser for Latin America and the Caribbean

**Department**: Programs

**Center Background**: The Center for Reproductive Rights (the Center) is a global human rights organization working to ensure that reproductive rights are protected in law as fundamental human rights around the world. With offices in New York City, New York; Nairobi, Kenya; Bogota, Colombia; Geneva, Switzerland; and Washington, D.C., the Center is a non-profit, non-partisan organization changing law and policy throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the United States. Our 230+ diverse professionals are committed to advancing the Center's human rights mission through game-changing litigation, legal policy, and advocacy work. This has powered the Center's exceptional growth to an operating budget of over $50 million and won the respect of law firms in countries around the world, with an additional $29 million annually of donated legal services, representing the work of countless lawyers from more than 46 countries.

The Center's Strategic Plan sets a high mark for impact**: By 2030, half of the world's population will be living under stronger protections for reproductive rights than they are today.** The Center has a track record of success to back up this ambitious goal. Since our founding in 1992, the Center has transformed how reproductive rights are understood and applied by courts, governments, and human rights bodies worldwide on issues including maternal health, abortion, assisted reproduction, and adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We have won groundbreaking cases before national courts, U.N. Committees, and regional human rights bodies. Additionally, the Center has led the development of historic, proactive legislation advancing robust protections for reproductive rights and has built the legal capacity of women's rights advocates in more than 65 countries and counting.

**The Role**:The Senior Advocacy and Gender Adviser for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) will work under the supervision of the Associate Director of Advocacy and External Relations for Latin America and the Caribbean in close collaboration with other program staff to support and build the work of the program.

In LAC, increasing levels of sexual and gender-based violence, discrimination and unwanted pregnancies are putting women and girls lives at severe risk, as well as keeping them from making their own life choices, to exercise their autonomy and enjoy their basic human rights. Maternal mortality due to unsafe abortions remains a challenge due to restrictive laws which impede access and result in most abortion services being provided under clandestine and unsafe conditions. At the same time there has been unprecedented strengthening of feminist and human rights movements who are leading the most important fight seen in a century. The ripples of these victories are spreading to neighboring and foreign countries alike and are being reverberated by new voices all over the world. Behind the scenes there has been notable progress in SRH access in the Africa and LAC regions.

CRR's approach to advocacy prioritizes placing the voices and experiences of women and adolescents, particularly those facing intersectional discrimination, at the center of all advocacy strategies. This requires that these women and adolescents are provided the training, resources, and opportunity to self-advocate, and actively participate in advocacy interventions at the national regional and global levels.

As such, this position is expected to leverage Universal and Regional Human Rights mechanisms to promote SRHR and Gender Equality as to provide policy makers and influencers with in-person pre-session briefings, direct support (e.g. providing draft language, convening close door meetings with reproductive rights advocates) in effort to support them to leverage the strong human rights standards related that exist. Additionally, the Center is looking for translating wins (e.g. positive court decisions and improved regional and global standards) into meaningful change for people. For example, aiding governmental departments to create public policies and protocols that incorporate revised legal standards.

This position will work closely with other departments across the organization, including Global Advocacy, External Relations, Communications, Program Management Department, Pro Bono, and others. The Senior Advocacy and Gender Adviser will have a key role in strengthening and maintaining the LAC Program external relations with key stakeholders, including partners across the region, officials and State representatives and institutional representatives, among others. The Senior Adviser will be integral to the implementation of the Center's specific regional projects and strategies, particularly its ground-breaking litigation to advance reproductive rights at the Interamerican Human Rights S
