Collective Advocacy Lead (full time, permanent)

To direct, manage and publicly lead the Centre’s collective advocacy (including engagement, campaigns and community mobilisation), with the overall goal of systems change and social change which increase the empowerment, safety and well-being of wāhine Māori and all women in Tāmaki Makaurau and across Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Off the back of the success of the Aotearoa Free From Stalking campaign, which helped to usher in new anti-stalking legislation, Auckland Women's Centre continues to advocate for stronger protections for women and gender minorities. Our current areas of interest include keeping the government accountable with the new anti-stalking law; and our new focus of pushing for online platform regulation to reduce misogyny and gendered abuse. We are looking for the Collective Advocacy Lead to help us build the next iteration of our advocacy programme – there will be scope to expand and evolve our focus over time, responding to emerging issues and the aspirations of wāhine Māori; all women; and the communities we work alongside.
