Vacancy
Background | ||
This vacancy is open only for the applicants with the citizenship of or permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia. The OSCE Mission to Serbia has been supporting gender equality since 2002, including its implementation at local level. Thus, in 2019, together with the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities (SCTM), the Mission intends to develop and implement an online training on gender equality at local level for representatives of local Gender Equality Mechanisms (GEMs), as well as for local councillors and interested employees in local self-governments (LSGs). As part of the online course, the Mission will develop and promote a “Guidebook on Gender Sensitive and Non-discriminatory Language in Public Administration”. While the Guidebook will be disseminated to the participants of the course, it will also serve as a tool for further discussion and promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination with different interested groups throughout the country. The Guidebook will be printed in 1,000 copies and will be available on SCTM and OSCE web pages. This Guidebook should be easy to read and understand and should offer all relevant recommendations and guidance to better use of gender fair and inclusive language. |

Tasks and Responsibilities | ||
Therefore, the Mission requires the services of an experienced national expert to develop the Guidebook on Gender Sensitive and Non-discriminatory Language in Public Administration. The use of gender sensitive and non-discriminatory language in public administration not only represents political correctness, but it powerfully reflects and influences attitudes, behaviours and perceptions of different social groups. Having this in mind, the Guidebook should offer linguistic norms aiming at reducing stereotypes on socio-cultural roles ascribed to men and women, as well as on attitudes towards different groups in society, especially those marginalized. As such, the Guidebook should not constrain employees in public administration, including local self-governments, and impose on them a mandatory set of rules. Rather, it should encourage them to give due consideration to the issue of gender sensitivity and non-discrimination in their daily written and spoken communications. The Guidebook on Gender Sensitive and Non-discriminatory Language in Public Administration will be promoted within the local self-government trainees at the SCTM on-line course on gender equality, and with other stakeholders at national level. Under the supervision of the OSCE Senior Governance Expert, the consultant will be responsible for:
