BACKGROUND TO IRC
Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee is one of the most prominent international organizations working in relief, rehabilitation, protection, post-conflict development, resettlement services and advocacy for those uprooted or affected by violent conflict and oppression. Since 2007, IRC has worked with refugees and other vulnerable populations in Jordan. Programs under the leadership of the IRC’s Women’s Protection and Empowerment (WPE) unit focus on interventions that address Gender Based Violence (GBV), specifically violence against Syrian and Jordanian women and girls.
In coordination with the humanitarian community and the Government of Jordan, the IRC's women and girls assistance program for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians includes urban based assistance (Mafraq, Ramtha, Irbid) as well as technical support partnerships with national institutions and organizations in. The IRC's direct assistance programs help to ensure that women and girls and survivors of GBV have access to: primary and reproductive health care; case management, counselling and emotional support for survivors of gender based violence; Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) as well as cash assistance. Services are accessible through two clinics in Ramtha and Mafraq, three Women’s and Girls’ Centres in Mafraq, Ramtha and Irbid, three mixed spaces and mobile service delivery. The IRC works to ensure that these services are inclusive of survivors of GBV and women and girls with disabilities as well as specifically tailored for child survivors of GBV and adolescent girls. At a national level, the IRC is leading multiple capacity building and technical partnership initiatives alongside government ministries, UN agencies and organizations including inter agency case management trainings, clinical care for sexual assault survivors (CCSAS), and the roll out of the Inter Agency National Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) on GBV and Child Protection in Jordan.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Gender Discussion Group (GDG) series is a WPE activity targeting women beneficiaries of cash assistance and their husbands or other male decision makers in the family. The curriculum guiding the 8-session training course has been developed by the IRC and will cover topics such as: the value of women in the household, gender equality, financial decision making, budgeting, planning, communicating and negotiating priorities within a household, and management of stressful situations. The GDG series will lead participants through a participatory process in which they can reflect on their own experiences, attitudes and behaviors that condone violence and to create conditions for women to be safe within their homes.
The GDG Facilitator will be responsible for planning and leading daily discussion groups for husbands/brothers/sons, and other male relatives of women beneficiaries of cash assistance, based on the IRC’s curriculum adapted to the context. Some sessions will be lead jointly with women, targeting couples. In this case, the male Facilitator will lead the session along with a female Facilitator. The Facilitator will be responsible for preparing for these sessions, facilitating the sessions, maintaining participant lists and writing training reports. In case of separate groups, the Facilitator will also be responsible to review the outcomes of the parallel women’s sessions with the female Facilitator to ensure women’s voices are incorporated in the sessions with men.
