The Auckland Women’s Centre Te Wāhi Wāhine o Tāmaki Makaurau provides neighbourhood awhi and nationwide voice, as a vibrant feminist community centre offering care, classes, and community events as well as collaborative advocacy for gender equity. We strive to honour te Tiriti o Waitangi.

The Centre is embarking on a 2-year project promoting healthy social norms regarding relationships, violence and stalking; connecting Māori and tauiwi in anti-violence advocacy; and empowering all women to believe they can make a difference working together on systems change. The core team consists of the project lead, Māori liaison, comms advisor and community organiser.

The role: – The Community Organiser’s primary focus will be managing the grassroots advocacy group AVA (Anti-Violence Action): increasing the group’s membership, diversity, knowledge/skills, and confidence to take collective action, particularly on the goal to promote healthy norms regarding relationships, violence and stalking. The CO may also assist with other campaign work, such as developing ways for women nationwide to be involved in the campaign, and social media.

The work may involve up to 14 nights out of Tāmaki Makaurau each year.

The ideal applicant will have a commitment to women’s rights and experience of community development or community training work – collective advocacy or campaigning experience is not required but would be a bonus.
