Vacancy
Background: | ||
ODIHR’s Tolerance and Non-Discrimination Department (TND), is tasked with building the capacity of governments in preventing and responding to racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance, as well as increasing the ability of civil society to monitor and report on hate crimes. Within the framework of the Turning Words into Action to Address Anti-Semitism project (WIA), ODIHR developed an online hate incidents reporting platform. The platform will allow for (1) victims and witnesses of hate crime and other incidents to report these incidents, (2) civil society organizations to record and monitor hate crime and other incidents and (3) civil society organizations to share their data with ODIHR. The hate incidents reporting platform is an online tool that has been developed by an external software development company. Civil society organizations across the OSCE region will be able to use the platform, and personalize it within specific parameters so that the tool addresses their specific needs. In May 2018, the platform underwent a technical review and user experience testing, which were followed by the implementation of a set of technical changes, including improved security of the data stored on the platform, improved user experience and adaptation of the software to be used by coalitions (i.e. multiple users). In September 2017 ODIHR hired a legal and data protection compliance expert who reviewed the software and provided advice to ODIHR and the software developers to ensure that the digital solutions comply with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The expert’s advice has been taken into account while finalizing the product in 2018. Now that the hate incident reporting platform is fully developed and technically ready for civil society organizations to use, ODIHR is looking for a Legal and Data Protection Expert to audit the platform and confirm that the previous legal recommendations have been implemented and that the digital solutions in the platform will allow for CSOs to adopt the tool in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). |
