Gender-Focused Multimedia Advocacy Consultant

Content Collection for Alianza: Gender-Focused Advocacy and Documentation Activities

Background:

Alianza seeks to collaborate with a qualified media organization or network based in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. This collaboration will be carried out in close coordination with our three implementing partners: AWDA, CFTA, and PCC, to support documentation and advocacy efforts related to International Humanitarian Law (IHL) violations, with a specific focus on gender perspective.

The project will involve the collection of high-quality video interviews, photography, and b-roll footage that illustrate the unique challenges faced by women and girls, as well as the gender-responsives interventions led by Alianza and its partners.

Due to the sensitive nature of this work, we strongly prefer to work with women videographers and photojournalists, where possible. The safety and well-being of everyone involved—including content gatherers and interview subjects—is of paramount importance. All fieldwork should be conducted in areas deemed safe and comfortable by the content gatherers.

All visual materials must align with Alianza’s visual identity guidelines and ethical storytelling standards, with an emphasis on dignity, authenticity, and respect for the agency of those portrayed.

This project is funded by the European Union through the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).
