The Institute fights for the return of democracy and the rule of law to Haiti by documenting human rights violations, disseminating accurate information and pursuing legal claims in Haiti and abroad. Along with their partner organization in Haiti, the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux, they represent victims of injustice, including earthquake victims, survivors of gender-based violence, the unjustly imprisoned, and victims of political persecution. IJDH coordinates grassroots advocacy in Haiti and the US, trains human rights advocates in Haiti, and disseminates human rights information worldwide.

In this position, you will monitor and update IJDH-BAI social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Change.org etc.) and expand IJDH’s presence on Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Change.org, Idealist.org, Flickr, Guidestar, and other sites. You will contribute ideas for IJDH’s strategic development as it relates to social media, and you will promote actions, events, speaking engagements, and fundraisers through frequent blast emails to IJDH-BAI supporters.
