About LAW
Founded in July 2013, Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) is an international non-profit organization headquartered in Geneva. LAW takes a survivor-centered, gender-sensitive approach to legal strategies that improve access to justice and provide redress to the most vulnerable in conflict-affected and fragile regions.
LAW’s ground-breaking Rohingya Crisis Programme ensures meaningful Rohingya participation in international justice processes relating to the crimes committed in Myanmar. This includes proceedings before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC), and other accountability mechanisms.
In Cox’s Bazar, LAW works with networks of volunteers, Survivor Advocates, and Shanti Mohila (Peace Women), who are at the forefront of the fight for justice for atrocities faced by their communities in Myanmar.
Overview of the Consultancy
LAW is seeking a dynamic audiovisual/short film producer to create survivor-centered digital films and related content highlighting the journey of Rohingya survivors seeking justice and accountability. The material for the film will be captured from LAW’s field centre in Kutupalong, the nearby Cox’s Bazar area, and relevant international courts or mechanisms where Rohingya survivors may participate. The consultant will deliver two short films (approx. 5-7 minutes each) and a combined long-form film (approx. 10-15 minutes), documenting the survivors’ experiences and participation in international justice mechanisms.
