Job Opportunity at TGEU

TGEU is a member-based organisation working primarily in Europe and Central Asia for the rights and lives of trans people. Our mission is to strengthen the rights and wellbeing of trans people in Europe and Central Asia, and represents 200+ member organisations in 50 countries.

Trans people across Europe and Central Asia remain at an increased risk of violence, discrimination, criminalising practices, and detention. Particularly trans sex workers, migrants, refugees, unemployed, homeless, and other marginalised groups have to fight a continuous mix of systematic and individual oppression. We commit to centre their voices and experiences when working to advance the rights of trans people and fight against violence and discrimination.

Job Description

We are looking to contract a consultant (up to 21 days) to support our work in the area of strategic litigation and raising legal literacy amongst the trans community in 2024. Due to funding restrictions, we can only consider bids from individuals or teams based in the European Union.

Key Responsibilities
  • Advise TGEU on its strategic litigation strategy
  • Implement TGEU's activities to retain and advance legal protection and recognition for trans people under different legal mechanisms, such as the EU, Council of Europe, and UN litigation mechanisms

This includes:

  • Conceptualising, drafting, and coordinating written submissions supporting strategic cases in regional or international mechanisms or before high-level national courts
  • Monitoring the ECtHR database
  • Collaborating with TGEU's partner organisations
  • Supporting lawyers, paralegals, and activists, including organising a meeting of the Trans Legal Network and providing information exchange and communication throughout the year
  • Drafting a stand-alone publication on jurisprudence
Requirements

We are looking for a legal expert with experience in litigation for rights of trans, LGBTI, and/or other marginalised groups locally and/or regionally/internationally. The ideal candidate will have:

  • Excellent knowledge of English (spoken and written) and ability to work with French legal text (ECtHR)
  • Strong understanding and commitment to trans rights
  • Knowledge of the European human rights framework and international human rights framework
  • High sense of initiative and ability to manage stressful situations
  • Ability to support complex working processes and work individually and within diverse teams

Experience:

  • At least four years of experience in litigation and legal representation in the wider European area, particularly with the European Court of Human Rights
  • At least two years of experience in a national or international organisation or private practice as a lawyer
  • Work or volunteer experience in LGBTI advocacy and/or human rights related fields is desired
Benefits

A maximum budget of €10,500 (including VAT) is available for these tasks. This sum includes all expenses.

To apply, please send us an offer, including a short letter of interest, examples of similar work, CV, contact information for 2 references, and a budget that includes your daily fee and other envisioned costs. Please submit your offer to contractstgeu(dot)org by Friday, 10 December :00 CET. Please note that only applications by email will be considered.
