Helem is the first LGBTQIA+ rights organization in the Arab world, officially established in Beirut, Lebanon in 2001. Its mission is to lead the struggle for the liberation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Intersex, Transgendered, Queer (LGBTQIA+), and other people with non-conforming sexualities and/or gender identities in Lebanon and the SWANA region from all sorts of violations of their individual and collective civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Our goal is to empower young LGBTQIA+ leaders to advocate for their own liberation. We seek to create initiatives and spaces where our communities can leverage unity through diversity and build power. We protect and support individuals with the resources to resist the harm caused by homophobia and transphobia. We empower our youth through education and community building and mobilize to change the laws, policies, and practices that deny us equality and reduce our quality of life.
Helem is looking for experienced translators with expertise in any or all of the following areas: SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics) terminology, SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) terminology, and inclusive language. Translators should be proficient in both English and Arabic. We are seeking to establish a Long-Term Project-Based Consultancy Agreement to support our ongoing needs for translation services.
Expected Outcomes:
- Translate reports, training materials, and various resources and publications on a project-by-project basis, ensuring the highest quality and adherence to established standards.
- Ensure precise and consistent use of SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics) terminology across all translation projects.
- Preserve the original meaning, context, and tone of the content in all translated materials.
- Proofread translated texts to ensure accuracy in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
- Collaborate with internal team members to confirm that the quality of the translations meets the specific requirements and standards set for each project.
- Provide timely updates on the progress of translation projects and address any feedback or revisions requested by the internal team.
