Volunteer for Video Production

Job Posting Organization:
ONU Mujeres El Salvador is dedicated to promoting women's rights and preventing violence against women and girls. The organization focuses on gender dimensions in human development and human rights issues, working towards women's equality and addressing societal norms that perpetuate violence. ONU Mujeres El Salvador engages in educational and creative processes to raise awareness about everyday violence against women, particularly through campaigns like #NoEsParaTanto, which aims to challenge normalized behaviors that contribute to violence.

Job Overview:
The position involves volunteering to support ONU Mujeres El Salvador in the production of short videos based on sociodramas that depict everyday situations of violence faced by women. This initiative is part of a collaboration with the Universidad Técnica Latinoamericana (UTLA) and is designed to transform university experiences into impactful public communication campaigns. Volunteers will work in teams to create audiovisual materials that are clear, respectful, and suitable for raising awareness about violence against women. The role is crucial in generating reflection among young audiences through engaging and relatable content, ultimately contributing to social change and promoting gender equality.

Duties and Responsibilities:
Volunteers will have various responsibilities, including:

• Reviewing and adapting sociodramas into concise audiovisual scripts, ensuring clarity and appropriateness for the awareness campaign.
• Acting and interpreting sociodramas that represent everyday situations of violence against women, which are often minimized or normalized.
• Assisting in the production and filming of videos, which involves organizing scenes, selecting locations, managing sound and lighting, and capturing audiovisual content.
• Editing the audiovisual materials, including selecting takes, assembling footage, adding subtitles, adapting formats for social media, and preparing final versions.
• Developing messages for the digital campaign, including copy proposals, closing phrases, calls to reflection, and organizing materials under the hashtag #NoEsParaTanto.
• Supporting the basic documentation of the process, which includes recording learnings, roles, produced materials, and recommendations for future collaborations between UTLA and ONU Mujeres.

Required Qualifications:
Candidates should possess a strong commitment to gender equality and women's rights. They should demonstrate creativity, teamwork, and effective communication skills. Familiarity with video production processes, including scripting, filming, and editing, is highly desirable. Volunteers should be open to learning and adapting to the needs of the project, and they should be able to work collaboratively with university students and faculty.

Educational Background:
While specific educational qualifications are not explicitly stated, a background in communications, media studies, gender studies, or related fields would be beneficial. Volunteers should have an understanding of gender issues and the societal context of violence against women.

Experience:
Previous experience in video production, acting, or scriptwriting is advantageous but not mandatory. Volunteers should be willing to engage in a learning process and collaborate effectively with others in a team setting. Experience in community outreach or awareness campaigns related to gender issues would also be valuable.

Languages:
Fluency in Spanish is mandatory, as the project will be conducted in Spanish. Knowledge of English or other languages could be considered a plus, especially for volunteers who may assist in broader communication efforts.

Additional Notes:
The position is a volunteer role, and the duration of the assignment is not specified. It is expected to be a collaborative effort involving university students and faculty, with a focus on full-time engagement during the project period. Volunteers will gain valuable experience in video production and contribute to a meaningful cause aimed at promoting gender equality and preventing violence against women.
