Position Summary

Department / Research Program: Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health Program

Project: Measuring Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Responding to the Needs of Indigenous Women and Girls in a Global Context (lay title)

The project is co-led by an international team representing community organizations, researchers, and people with living experiences with HIV. It includes Nigeria, Guatemala, Nepal, India, New Zealand, Peru, and Canada. The project's objective is to develop training and policy-related materials related to SRHR for Indigenous Women (those who self-identify as a woman or girl, inclusive of cis Women, trans Women, Two-Spirit, femme/feminine-identifying genderqueer, and non-binary people) that are relevant at both the global and local level.

We will achieve this objective by establishing evidence-based global SRHR metrics using an Indigenous community-based research framework. The primary activities for this project will include in-country surveys and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), local, country-specific, and international analysis, and integrated knowledge translation at all levels. In doing so, we will build capacity among Indigenous Women and allied supporters, including self-identified Indigenous men and boys (inclusive of cis, trans, two-spirit, non-binary people) to be change agents for Indigenous Women's SRHR.

Reporting relationships: This position will be guided by the Global Research Project Manager and will be managed by Carrie Martin with additional support from the research team members for Canada.
