CARE has been working on gender, migration and development issues for several years in different parts of the world, including South Asia, where it has been implementing a five-year regional project: EMPHASIS.
Funded by the Big Lottery Fund, EMPHASIS aims to reduce vulnerabilities among cross-border migrants. This program focuses on migrants' access to HIV and AIDS services, information and support, with a particular focus on empowering women.
2. You will contribute to organising a major international conference
You will be supporting a multicultural and multidisciplinary team in organising a major international event. You will learn and fine tune competencies such as time management, team work, organisational skills and logistics and you will be providing support to the facilitators during this two day conference.
