Job Description

Within the framework of Integrated Protection Response in the Bekaa project, IRC will track and respond to pressing protection issues such as GBV, child labour, school dropout, HLP disputes, and movement restrictions. The IRC will conduct GBV safety audits and community risk mappings in priority areas of Baalbeck El Hermel to identify unsafe spaces, gather women's input, and use findings to develop community safety plans and refer needed services. Key geographic areas for integrated GBV and protection monitoring will include high-tension zones such as Qasr, Knaysseh, and the Shrawni neighbourhood; under-monitored locations like Al Jalil Palestinian camp; and border-adjacent villages recently affected by clashes or raids, including Hawsh Sayed Ali. Furthermore, IRC will re-establish free legal aid in North and Central Bekaa, targeting communities with the greatest unmet needs. By restoring these services, the intervention will help address the root causes of protection vulnerabilities. Legal documentation, especially valid residency and civil registration, plays a pivotal role in reducing exposure to harassment, exploitation, and denial of services. The IRC will prioritize civil documentation and legal status support through counseling, representation, and mediation services.

This project will prioritize Syrian refugees, especially women, girls, and individuals without legal residency, as well as vulnerable Lebanese residing in the North and Central Bekaa, including Baalbeck El Hermel areas.
