Call for volunteer Human Rights Monitors in Holy Land

The international Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) is recruiting their next cohort of human rights monitors - Ecumenical Accompaniers, (or EAs for short.)

EAs spend three months in Palestine and Israel witnessing and monitoring human rights violations and standing in solidarity with local peace activists. When they come home they give talks in their local communities and advocate for an end to the military occupation of Palestine.

EAs need to be flexible, hard-working, physically and emotionally robust, open to hearing from different perspectives, and able to represent the programme in a professional manner. No previous monitoring experience is required. Your expenses will be paid and a living allowance provided.

EAs are recruited a year in advance, so we are looking for applicants who can serve in 2024. We provide in-depth training and resources to help our EAs to prepare.

The closing date is Thursday 9 March 2023, 5pm.

If you do not wish to apply yourself, but know others who may be interested, please refer them to our website: www.quaker.org.uk/our-work/eappi/get-involved our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/eappiukireland Instagram: www.instagram.com/eappiukireland/ and Twitter: https://twitter.com/eappiukireland

EAPPI stands against all forms of discrimination and prejudice, including but not limited to antiblackness, antisemitism, classism, homophobia, islamophobia, racism and sexism, with an understanding that these are often overlapping.

We want to build an inclusive and diverse network of EAs and particularly welcome applications from those usually under-represented as EAs, particularly people from Black communities, People of Colour, and those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Applicants from these groups who meet the minimum requirements for the role are guaranteed an interview.

EAPPI is a church programme but is open to all and there is no requirement to be Christian or involved in a church. We welcome applications from people of all faiths and none.

Please note that we can only recruit EAs who live in the UK or Ireland. For EAPPI offices in other countries, please see here: https://quaker.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7506c29d95944ba554b4871f8&id=4167a96b64&e=edf11346d1
