For International Women’s Day, the March 8 global event celebrating the achievements of women worldwide, the International Rescue Committee asked teenage girls living in Helowyn refugee camp in Ethiopia to describe themselves in one word, and to tell us what it means to them “to be a girl.”
Ethiopia hosts more than 850,000 refugees the second largest cohort in any African nation about 40,000 of them in Helowyn camp, located in the southern part of the country. The larger region, often referred to as the Horn of Africa, has suffered years from conflict and drought. Conditions in the camp are basic, with most refugees living in temporary accommodations. It’s especially tough to be a girl in the camp, as they face an increased risk of gender-based violence.

In Burkina Faso, IRC launched its first phase of emergency response programming in the city of Djibo in April 2019, mainly with WASH and protection activities. The IRC has more recently launched health and nutrition programs in Djibo and plans to expand its intervention in the North region. IRC also wishes to develop a program for the empowerment of women in the regions of the North, the Sahel and the Boucle of Mouhoun, which is part of a multisectoral approach strategy to meet the needs of populations affected by conflicts and travel.
Scope of work
Under the supervision of the Deputy Director of Program, Senior Manager WPE will ensure leadership over all IRC Women Protection and Empowerment (WPE) programs in Burkina Faso, ensuring quality technical programming, overseeing all program management, directing the design of new programs, and providing strategic leadership on behalf of women and girls through active participation in humanitarian coordination and advocacy.
