Description
Context/Reporting line:
Since 2014, minorities in Iraq have been suffering from the atrocities conducted by ISIS, leaving them with different needs at different layers. Survivors have gone through intense traumatic experiences leaving them with acute stress, trauma and depression, amongst other direct and indirect psychological consequences.
On March 1, 2021, the Iraqi Council of Representatives adopted the Law on Support to Yazidi Women Survivors (Survivors Law). This law represents a watershed moment in Iraqi efforts to address the legacy of ISIL crimes against Yazidis and victims from other minorities, as it officially recognizes acts of genocide against Yazidi and other communities. It provides access to variety of rights and benefits to women and girls survivors of conflict related sexual violence, as well as children abducted by ISIS, including monthly pension, and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS).
However, capacity of Iraqi institutions to provide MHPSS is weak and depleted due to decades of conflict and systemic shortcomings. In areas where survivors currently live and especially in areas of their origin (Tal Afar, Sinjar and Bashiqa) state capacity to provide even basic services is scarce. NGOs working in these areas are also struggling with MHPSS technical capacity and resources, leaving survivors basically without any services.
While Government of Iraq is working on establishing the MHPSS center under YSL framework, IOM intends to address ongoing needs of survivors through strengthening capacity of selected group of civil society organizations working with survivors in Tal Afar, Sinjar and Bashiqa and support them to provide tailored non-specialized MHPSS that aims to foster healing, resilience, and rehabilitation for these survivors.
Under the general supervision of the Senior Programme Coordinator (Peace Bldg&Stabl), the overall supervision of the Programme Officer (Transitional Justice), the administrative supervision of the Head of Sub Office (HoSO) and the direct supervision of the National MHPSS Officer (Yazidi Survivors Law framework), in close coordination with MHPSS programme, the successful incumbent ill perform the following duties;
