The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a global campaign observed annually from 25 November to 10 December to raise awareness and mobilize action to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls.

To support the 2026 campaign, UNDP Liberia, in partnership with UNV, is engaging Online Volunteers to strengthen digital awareness and advocacy on the links between harmful social influences, substance use, violence, and gender-based violence. The initiative seeks to promote positive social norms, healthy lifestyles, youth leadership, social cohesion, and non-violent communities, while increasing awareness of survivor rights, available support services, and access to justice.

Under the guidance of the UNDP team, Online Volunteers will support the development of engaging scripts for short videos and messages for social media posters to support content creation for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other online platforms. Their contributions will help amplify campaign messages, expand public engagement, and support youth-led efforts to prevent violence and promote safer, more resilient communities.

We are looking for eight (8) Online Volunteers to support the development of youth-focused communication content for the 2026 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign. Under the guidance of the UNDP team and in collaboration with the Communications Team, the Online Volunteers will develop key messages and short video scripts tailored to the Liberian context, focusing on substance use prevention, positive social norms, youth empowerment, and gender-based violence prevention. Key Responsibilities • Review campaign materials, target audience profiles, branding guidelines, and key messages provided by the UNDP team. • Develop 16 scripts for short social media videos (approximately one video per day during the campaign period). • Develop 20 key messages for posters, social media cards, captions, hashtags, and calls to action. • Ensure messages are youth-friendly, culturally appropriate, and relevant to the Liberian context. • Adapt content for different audiences, including young people, community members, and stakeholders. • Collaborate with the Communications Team to ensure consistency with campaign objectives and approved messaging. • Revise content based on feedback and submit final products in a publish-ready format. Expected Deliverables • 16 short video scripts. • 20 key messages for social media and awareness materials. • Suggested hashtags and calls to action to support online engagement.

Through this assignment, Online Volunteers will contribute to a national awareness campaign aimed at preventing gender-based violence, promoting positive behaviour change, and empowering young people to become agents of positive social change in their communities.
