Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to affect one in three women and girls worldwide, with devastating human, social, and economic consequences. In every region, multiple intersecting crises including conflict, climate change, displacement, economic inequality, and rising authoritarianism, are compounding risk and eroding progress toward equality.
Despite decades of advocacy and evidence, the scale of investment, political will, and accountability for action still falls far short of what is needed.
All In: Global Leaders for Ending Gender-Based Violence exists to change that.
All In brings together influential leaders (the ‘Panel’) from governments, multilateral organisations, philanthropy, and the private sector to mobilise sustained leadership, funding, and collaboration for the prevention of GBV. Grounded in feminist principles and informed by lived experience, All In l is committed to demonstrating that violence against women and girls is solvable and that prevention must be at the centre of global efforts for equality, justice, and sustainable development.
All In aims to:
All In is non-partisan and does not engage in political lobbying. Its work focuses on influence, evidence, and collaboration to drive lasting change.
Equality Institute (EQI) serves as the Secretariat for All In, holding programmatic and fiscal responsibility for the initiative and the Panel.
EQI’s role is to:
Strategy and relationships
Technical expertise and knowledge
Operations and logistics
This role plays a pivotal part in bringing All In to life, helping build the systems, relationships, and momentum needed to end gender-based violence globally.
The Communications & Advocacy Specialist, All In, supports the development and delivery of strategic communications and advocacy activities that position All In as a credible and influential global mechanism for the prevention of gender-based violence.
This role contributes to all aspects of communications planning and implementation, including brand management, media relations, digital engagement, social media, and the production of flagship publications and high-quality communication outputs. It ensures that All In’s voice is clear, consistent, and aligned with EQI’s feminist principles and global strategy.
Working closely with the Strategic Director, All In, the Media and Partnerships Advisor, and EQI’s Communications Team, the Communications & Advocacy Specialist translates evidence and insights into accessible, action-oriented content that amplifies the All In's work and impact to advance the prevention of violence against women and girls globally.
Requirements
Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalised folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job ad, that’s okay, we would still love to review your application!
Please see the Communications and Advocacy Specialist Position Description for more.
Equality Institute (EQI) is a global feminist agency working to end violence against women and girls.
We are values-driven and underpinned by feminist principles in the ways we work and how we conduct ourselves. We actively apply an understanding of intersectionality in our work and are committed to having diversity reflected in our workplace.
Our values are active:
They are not merely slogans but are embedded into the structure of our organisation, and manifest in the approach we take, work we do, and systems we build.
We approach everything with an intersectional feminist lens. While violence affects women and girls across the world, different layers of people’s identities—such as their socio-economic status, indigeneity, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV status, minority status, age, and so on—impact the ways in which they are discriminated against and the types of violence perpetrated against them. Thus, our work aims to address not just gender inequality but all forms of inequality and systems of oppression in an interconnected way.
We ask questions instead of making assumptions and take an evidence-based approach to create effective change. We recognise vulnerability as a strength and dare to be different. We actively find the joy and share it, and we create systems that enable and support self and collective care.
These are just some of the ways in which our values manifest in the work we do.
We are committed to providing an inclusive experience to all candidates. If you have a disability, condition, illness or access requirements, please let us know how we can best support you throughout your recruitment experience.
We recognise that everyone's needs are different. Some examples of adjustments we can provide include (but are not limited to):
