The PhD Project
This PhD project investigates disinformation at the intersections of gender, visual communication, and political discourse. It studies how women politicians’ intersectional identities are targeted in false and misleading content. As generative AI tools are becoming more accessible and often materialize as deepfakes, disinformation campaigns’ visual and multimodal aspects pose new challenges for political representation and democratic discourse. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining political communication and media studies with a focus on gender and visual disinformation, this PhD project will examine the distinguishing features of gendered multimodal disinformation, its perception by audiences, and its impact on women in the political sphere targeted by it.

Methodologically, research in this project employs qualitative methods, incorporating a systematic literature review, multimodal discourse analysis, media diaries, focus groups, and in-depth interviews with women who have been targeted by disinformation campaigns. This comprehensive approach contributes to a better understanding of how disinformation campaigns target women in the political context, potentially discouraging them from pursuing public careers. This is a particular concern given that women are underrepresented in prominent political positions, holding head-of-state positions in only 23% of countries. When they do reach these positions of power, women politicians are often subject to backlash when they do not meet gender-stereotypical expectations.

Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR) Health

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is the world’s largest civil society organisation advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). With a presence in over 146 countries through our Federation of 120 Member Associations and 38 Collaborative Partners, we deliver healthcare and champion rights where they are needed most. Our work spans comprehensive sexuality education, access to contraception and safe abortion, maternal care and humanitarian response - ensuring that care reaches all, regardless of race, gender, income, or geography. Guided by Strategy 2028, we are reimagining our future to be more locally owned, globally connected and unapologetically bold in advancing SRHR, gender justice and human rights.

We are seeking a visionary leader to serve as our next Director, Solidarity for Change and Voice. This is an opportunity to lead a global movement for SRHR justice - driving bold advocacy, amplifying the voices of those most affected, and standing firm in the face of growing opposition. The Director will spearhead partnerships with social movements, build strategic alliances, and shape the global discourse on SRHR. They will ensure that IPPF remains a fearless and authoritative voice for gender justice, LGBTQI+ rights, and access to safe abortion, while strengthening our Federation’s ability to counter disinformation and resist the rollback of fundamental freedoms.

Reporting to the Global Director of External Relations, the Director will set the conditions for IPPF to stand up and speak out. They will harness political intelligence, leverage storytelling and narratives, and work in deep solidarity with our Member Associations, activists, and allies to drive impact at every level - from grassroots mobilisation to international policymaking. They will also play a critical role in supporting human rights defenders, protecting activists from opposition attacks, and ensuring that IPPF continues to be a trusted and effective advocate for the people and communities we serve.

The ideal candidate will be a bold and strategic leader with deep experience in social justice movements, international advocacy, and global policymaking. They will have a track record of driving change in highly complex and contested spaces, building coalitions that shift power, and leading teams to deliver impact at scale. A skilled communicator and strategist, they will know how to shape narratives, challenge harmful discourse, and influence decision-makers at the highest levels. They will also bring extensive experience working with civil society, donors, governments, and multilateral institutions, along with a keen ability to navigate the political landscape surrounding SRHR. Above all, they will be relentlessly committed to human rights, fearless in the face of opposition, and unwavering in their pursuit of justice and equality for all.

Leadership Political participation
WHO ARE WE?
✨Politics4Her is a youth-led blog and movement advocating for more inclusive participation of young women and girls in politics and leadership. Politics4Her has grown to over 50 members with a focus on the Global South, and with an effort of being more inclusive of language and diversity, we now have additional hubs: the Global hub (English), the Africa hub (English), the Europe hub (English/French/Italian), and the Asia hub (English).
With a large community of thousands of followers, subscribers, and partners, our main goals are to break stereotypes, grow more informed, and encourage the active participation of young women and girls in civil society. Out of a powerful sense that oppression, discrimination, and social constraints are characteristics of women’s experience, especially, in disproportionate societies that are still in the process of advancing gender equality, Politics4her, therefore, aims at uniting women into an organized political environment as an expression of their potential and distinct contribution to their communities.
Politics4Her is excitedly inviting all young people out there to dispel their hesitation, overcome their imposter syndrome, and join us in smashing the patriarchy by filling in the form for a world in which young people, and in particular young women are practically involved in the manifold aspects of their communities.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Applicants must fulfill the criteria as follows:
- Be between 22-35 years old.
- Passionate about social media and designing websites
- Identify as an intersectional feminist.
- Attach a complete application including a resume and cover letter. Applications that do not include any of the two will be annulled.

Economic justice

Women Moving Millions (WMM) is a dynamic, impact-led community on a mission to catalyze resources to power the movement for gender equality. Their 400-strong membership has collectively committed over $1B to improve the lives of women and girls. Through collaborative leadership (resources, social capital, and expertise), WMM seeks to drive greater impact and accelerate progress. By transforming how members give and invest, they remove barriers for leaders and innovators, inspiring bolder investments from a diverse ecosystem of funding partners.

To accomplish this vision, WMM seeks to strengthen the funding ecosystem of the movement and serve as a bridge to the intersecting movements working towards gender equality. Through the curation of a dynamic community of women philanthropists, they are able to tap into and leverage members’ collective influence and power (resources, social capital, and expertise) and drive greater capital to accelerate progress. WMM takes a ‘big tent’ approach to its membership, including women at all stages of their philanthropic journeys, creating spaces for members to be vulnerable, build trust, and hold one another accountable as they learn, grow, and act.

Amid this critical mission and environment of extraordinary investment and expansion, WMM seeks candidates for Chief Philanthropy Officer (CPO). The CPO provides comprehensive and strategic leadership of WMM philanthropic engagement and revenue growth initiatives. The primary responsibility of this leader is to drive strategies for the ongoing growth of a diverse community of philanthropic support and deep, long-term relationships based on the common goal of gender equality. Reporting directly to the CEO, the CPO works closely with senior executive and Board leadership to establish and advance philanthropic engagement goals and secure the revenue necessary to sustain WMM’s overall efforts for gender equality. The CPO will manage an evolving team that currently includes the Director of Community Engagement and Member Engagement Associate and is projected to expand commensurate with organizational growth and in consultation with the CEO. The CPO will lead efforts to fund implementation of WMM’s strategic priorities by growing sources of recurring revenue (member dues and contributions, foundation and corporate support) to ensure long-term sustainability and simultaneously raising supplementary growth capital through major gifts to WMM from members and foundations.

This is a unique opportunity to play a significant role in advancing gender equality for a philanthropy leader who possesses a background of developing and executing creative, effective fundraising strategies and events as well as a sophisticated understanding of influencing and stewarding high-net-worth donors, family offices, foundations, and institutional philanthropy. The CPO will model proactivity and strategic, data-informed decision making as well as a professional pace and agility that mirrors that of WMM overall.

About JASS

JASS is a feminist movement support organisation that strengthens the voice, visibility, leadership and collective organising power of women for a just and sustainable world for all. We equip and strengthen the leadership and organising capacity of women leaders and their organisations in Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa.

Our feminist movement building work supports marginalised women leaders (indigenous and rural land defenders, sex workers, garment workers, LBTQI+, HIV+, and young activists) in critically unpacking the power dynamics affecting their lives from the personal to the public, from the local to the global, as to change the systems, structures and beliefs that perpetuate inequity, injustice, and violence. Our approach enables the conditions for women to organise, mobilise and transform power in four areas of their lives: Bodies, Voice, Resources, and Safety.

Our commitment to transforming power in the world starts with how we organise and operate internally. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of who we are and how we were founded. We have an intersectional staff and shared leadership structure that represents diverse geographies, cultures, faiths, generations, races, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and includes activists grounded in country-level organising and movements. We strive for internal structures, policies, and practices that value the range of knowledge held in this diversity and that reflect shared principles and accountability to our mission.

Position Overview

The Regional Programme Coordinator will work closely with the Regional Director (RD) and regional staff in order to ensure regional programmes and initiatives are on track in line with overall, regional strategic priorities and budget. The coordinator will work in collaboration with JASS’ functional teams (Finance and Operations, MEL and Resource Mobilisation and Funding Partnerships, Communications) to ensure the integration of regional needs and priorities, and alignment to institutional practices. The Coordinator will provide specific support to the Regional Director on the day to day management and administrative oversight of programs and finance and operations in line with the JASS strategy and political approach.
