Child protection/ Children’s rights Disability rights Health Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR) Youth
To lead and shape the positioning and active advocacy of Liliane Fonds in the field of disability inclusion and disability justice for children and youth with a disability, with a specific focus on SRHR (Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights) and on strengthening the rights and inclusion of youth with a disability in multilateral and mainstream fora, we are looking for a:

Pro-active and strategic Advocacy lead – SRHR & Youth

If we want change to last, governments and decision-makers need to take responsibility for children and young people with disabilities. That’s why we, together with our partners, make their voices heard: in the countries where we work and at the international level. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) guides our lobbying and advocacy agenda towards governments and government institutions. We support organizations of people with disabilities (OPDs) and youth to advocate for disability inclusive and progressive SRHR policies, budgets, and implementation structures in their countries.

People with disabilities can participate better in more equal societies when multilateral and mainstream organisations include disability in their policies, programmes and budgets. We therefore take a leading role in various networks (eg Share-Net Netherlands), are active in international working groups and aim to have inclusion on the agenda of non-disability organisations.

Liliane Fonds, as an expert on disability inclusion, has specific expertise on topics such as inclusive SRHR, SGBV, meaningful youth participation and child protection, which puts us in the unique position to collaborate with or have joint lobby actions with a wide range of civil society organisations to further advance the rights, voice and justice of children and youth with disability.
