Application Period: 15 – 31 October 2025

 

The Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development (APWLD) is looking for a skilled and collaborative team to redesign and develop our website.

The APWLD website is one of the main digital assets of APWLD. It is the main digital platform where we provide updates to our members, allies, and  partners ; announce activities and events to a larger audience; and launch and upload our publications, modules, press releases and statements. The website also serves as a gateway to our microsites such as the feminist accountability map, media fellowship microsite, and APFF microsite, among others. 

A strong online presence is essential to effectively communicate and share our feminist analyses and key messages, amplify solidarity statements, engage our members, partners and allies, and share our impact to the general audience. To achieve this, our website must be more user-friendly, visually appealing, responsive, and functionally comprehensive. 

To ensure the efficient and effective implementation of the website redesign, the team will work closely with the Information and Communications Programme (InfoComms) and Digital Security Consultant.
