Background Information:

Thousands of refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and Sudanese nationals rely on smugglers to transport them into, through and out of the East of Sudan every year. UNHCR estimates that approximately 3,000 persons enter the East of Sudan from Eritrea every month, of who an average of 2,000 seek asylum in Shagarab camps; most of these new arrivals move on to Khartoum or beyond within a short time of arrival. A sophisticated network set up by smugglers enables movement of people efficiently from Eritrea through the East of Sudan to Khartoum, Egypt, Israel and beyond. Since 2012, UNHCR and IOM have received numerous reports of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers en route who have been subjected to kidnapping, extortion, and severe sexual and physical violence by criminal groups involved in the smuggling of persons. Victims of these crimes tell horrendous stories of what they went through whilst being abducted.

In order to address the situation, UNHCR and IOM are implementing a project of several components: (i) Research; (ii) Awareness Raising; (iii) Capacity Building; (iv) Security enhancement; (v) Victim Support; and (vi) Coordination Measures. UNHCR and IOM work in close coordination on all components.

Responsibilities:

The Psychosocial & Mental Health Consultant will advise UNHCR Sub-Office Kassala and Khashm El Girba Antenna Office on the establishment of support mechanisms for victims of human trafficking, trauma and sexual violence.
