The Volunteer’s Role
Cuso International in Peru is seeking an individual to support our partner organization, Instituto de Defensa Legal (IDL), in promoting and raising awareness of their Constitutional Litigation Area (ALC) activities and legal cases both nationally and internationally.
As a volunteer, you will work closely with the team to share updates on the various activities they undertake, such as court judgments, legal hearings, reports, articles, briefs, and statements, depending on their significance.
You will collaborate with IDL’s communications department to publicize activities through official media outlets and engage with alternative and mainstream media in Peru, as well as foreign press correspondents in the country. If needed, you may be responsible for drafting press releases, capturing photographs and videos, writing articles, and sharing them through the ALC’s social media channels and other platforms.
In addition, you will play a key role in translating press releases, articles, and other communication materials into English for international media dissemination. These materials will be distributed among activist networks, NGOs, solidarity groups, and IDL allies.
Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to broadcast press conferences, forums, and other events via IDL’s Facebook Live or other virtual broadcasting channels. You will actively participate in all ALC meetings and coordinate with team members based in Lima and other provinces.
This position is based in Lima, the vibrant capital city of Peru. You will join a dedicated, multidisciplinary team focused on monitoring public policies related to crucial issues in the country, such as human rights, justice, security, environment, and indigenous peoples.
