24 hours per week | 3-month assignment (with option to extend) | Hybrid (The Hague)

Do you want to fight for equality? Tackle inequality at its roots—together with colleagues, our partner organizations, and activists in more than 90 countries? Change the systems behind it, once and for all?

Oxfam Novib stands behind the people who stand up for equality. Together, we fight for a world where everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of religion, ethnicity, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. A world where everyone feels safe, where income gaps shrink instead of grow, and where climate change is tackled firmly.
