Between 2 and 3 volunteers will be selected and will be given access to our Google Sheet document. Coordination will be managed by 28 Too Many, direct communication will take place via email (please check your junk inbox). One week will be given to each volunteer.

Experience in translation from English to Swedish is essential and at least one of the following areas of expertise is preferred: Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C), Women’s Health and/or Gender, or Human Rights. Knowledge and understanding of legal terminology will be a deciding factor, especially criminal law. Please give details of previous work with application. Applicants may be asked to translate a short paragraph as part of the selection process.
