Founded in July 2013, Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) is an international non-profit organization headquartered in Geneva. LAW takes a survivor centered, gender sensitive approach to creative legal strategies to improve access to justice and provide legal redress to the most vulnerable in conflict-affected and fragile regions.

LAW is looking for a dynamic creative professional to produce survivor-centric digital stories to raise awareness about international justice and accountability efforts for the crimes committed against the Rohingya in Myanmar.

The main objective of the communication material is to highlight the timeline and nature of the critical efforts and key contributions made by the victims and survivors of the 2016 and 2017 “clearance operations” in ensuring that accountability efforts in relation to the Rohingya crisis move forward with a sense of urgency.

• Develop videos/film and interview survivors as appropriate for the same, on the themes discussed and mutually agreed upon with the LAW team.

1. LAW will hold the copyright of all the videos, graphics, illustrations, messages or any creative and intellectual property produced under the assignment.
