The Human Dignity Trust is a legal charity based in London, UK that supports local lawyers and human rights defenders to uphold human rights and constitutional law in countries where private, consensual sexual conduct between adults of the same sex is criminalised. At present, 74 jurisdictions worldwide maintain these criminal laws, a figure that has been gradually decreasing due to a combination of litigation and legislative reform.
We are seeking an experienced Programme Manager, Legislative Reform to manage and deliver on the Trust’s responsibilities under the EJA legislative reform programme. This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding individual to lead an innovative technical assistance programme. Reporting to the Director and working closely with the Head of Legal and other staff, as well as stakeholders from civil society, the public sector and an international group of experts, you will be responsible for the overall implementation and oversight of the Trust’s responsibilities under the EJA programme, with an overarching objective of providing technical legal expertise to states embarking on human-rights based legislative reform of sexual offences and related laws impacting women and girls and LGBT people.
