Your mission Sexual Harassment Specialist Consultant – Sexual Harassment Prevention in SchoolsProject: NOUR—Preventing Sexual Harassment in Moroccan Public SchoolsLocation: Remote with one field trip to MoroccoDuration: 18 months, with the possibility of extension based on project needs and funding availability.Reporting to: Project CoordinatorLanguages Required: English; Preferred: French and/or Arabic/Darija. 1- Purpose:Project Soar, in partnership with Morocco's Ministry of Education (MOE), is implementing NOUR, a 18 -month initiative and an innovative, co-created sexual harassment (SH) prevention program for public middle and high schools in the Marrakech-Safi region designed to contribute to the creation of safe, inclusive, and protective school environments by preventing sexual harassment and improving students’ well-being in Moroccan public schools. There are currently no existing tools, curricula, or training programs for SH prevention in Moroccan public schools. NOUR addresses this critical gap by uniting school administrators, staff, teachers, and students around a scalable, replicable prevention system. The project responds to research findings showing concerning levels of sexual harassment in schools, limited student awareness regarding consent and boundaries, and the absence of formal prevention and reporting systems within schools. The program will reach an estimated 1,500–1,800 students and 120+ school staff and educators across 5 pilot schools in collaboration with educational authorities, schools, and parents’ associations. The NOUR Toolkit, to be co-created with key stakeholders, will include an animated SH prevention film, a school SH prevention guide, an online training and certification program, a card game, awareness posters, and monitoring & evaluation tools. Project Soar is seeking a qualified Sexual Harassment Prevention Consultant to lead the technical content development of the NOUR Toolkit and provide ongoing advisory support throughout the project. The consultant will bring specialized expertise in developing SH prevention and referral programs for school settings. The consultant will work closely with Project Soar staff, an Education Consultant, MOE representatives, school directors, social assistants, teachers, and students to ensure all NOUR content is evidence-based, culturally appropriate, contextually relevant, and suitable for adolescents. 2. Objective:The Sexual Harassment Specialist will lead the technical design, implementation, and quality assurance of interventions focused on the prevention of sexual harassment within schools. The specialist will provide expertise in developing culturally responsive prevention strategies, awareness materials, reporting and referral approaches, and training content aligned with child protection, safeguarding, and gender equality principles. The Sexual Harassment Specialist will support capacity strengthening for teachers, mentors, and relevant stakeholders on topics related to sexual harassment prevention & response mechanisms. The specialist will also ensure that all interventions promote safe, inclusive, and respectful environments for adolescents and young people. The sexual harassment specialist must uphold strict confidentiality, safeguarding, and child protection standards throughout the implementation of the project. All activities involving students and participants must prioritize safety, dignity, informed participation, confidentiality, and psychosocial well-being.3- Required Profile and Qualifications The consultant must be registered as one of the following legal profiles:<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Individual auto-entrepreneur</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Independent consultant (subject to 30% withholding tax as applicable)</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Consulting firm or association (with demonstrated individual expert to lead the work)</li></ul> Required qualifications:<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Master’s degree in Education, Gender Studies, Psychology, Social Sciences, Child Protection, or a related field.</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Minimum 5 years of experience in SH prevention, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention, safeguarding initiatives in schools, or related youth well-being programming.</li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Demonstrated experience collaboration with other consultants </li><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;"> Demonstrated experience developing and/or implementing sexual harassment solutions and sexual harassment awareness and prevention training programs for schools or educational.
