Global Inclusion Specialist
Finance System Analyst
Location: Globally Flexible
Company: Plan International
The Organisation
Plan
International is an independent development and humanitarian
organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.
Recommended:
We
believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often
suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s
girls who are most affected.
Working
together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we
strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges
facing girls and all vulnerable children.
We support children’s
rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to
prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in
practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our
reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 75 countries.
In all countries where Plan International works, we encounter different
forms of gender-based discrimination, gender stereotyping and unequal
distribution of power between women, men, girls and boys, and other
genders, as well as exclusion based on multiple factors. These factors
include identities such as race, class, ethnicity, disability, language,
sexual orientation and gender identity, among others. We recognise that
individuals have multiple identities that shape their experiences. We
believe that our work on tackling gender inequality can be strengthened
by examining how these identities intersect and by using learning to
inform programmes and influencing. Gender inequality intensifies the
negative effects of all other forms of exclusion and as a result,
exclusion is different and often worse for girls and women. Girls often
face the most significant barriers to exercising their rights among
excluded groups, which is why gender equality and girls’ rights are a
distinct priority for Plan International’s work.
