Job Opportunity for Researcher and Writer
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), women account for 43 percent of the agricultural workforce globally. This significant presence makes them particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of pesticides used in farming, with their reproductive health being especially at risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has highlighted links between certain pesticides and various health issues in humans, such as hormonal imbalances, reduced fertility, miscarriages, birth defects, and developmental disabilities in children.

Pesticide Action Network Asia Pacific (PANAP) is undertaking research to explore the impact of pesticides on women in Asia, with a specific focus on their occupational and reproductive health. The aim of this study is to examine how pesticide exposure affects women’s health, particularly reproductive functions.

We are currently looking for a short-term researcher and writer to conduct a study on the effects of pesticide exposure on women’s occupational and reproductive health.

Responsibilities:

The researcher will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive study on pesticide use in agriculture and its impact on women’s occupational and reproductive health, with a focus on Asia. This will involve gathering and analysing relevant data, identifying key issues, and providing insights on the subject. The researcher will also prepare a detailed 30-page report, which will include findings and recommendations for addressing the identified issues. The study and report are to be completed by end of December.

To apply:

Kindly send your CV with cover letter to personnel@panap.net on or before 25th September 2024, with the subject “Application for Researcher and Writer on Impact of Pesticides on Women”.
