Campaigns Manager (f/x/m) – Brussels – MSF Belgium

CONTEXT

Migration is one of the defining humanitarian issues of the past decade in Europe. Across many contexts, MSF teams witness the medical and human consequences of migration policies every day: people injured at borders, people trapped in detention systems, people dying along migration routes, and people excluded from healthcare simply because of their legal status.

In many parts of Europe, the dominant narratives around migration are increasingly framed in terms of security, deterrence, and border control, rather than humanitarian needs. This narrative shift has real-life consequences. Security and deterrence framing has increasingly brought with it a retrenchment of our space for humanitarian medical intervention, loss of access and an arguable dehumanisation of vulnerable people,both in public debate and in practice.MSF is simultaneously witnessing patients being left without the protection and fair treatment they deserve and is prevented from offering the life-saving care it is our job to provide.

Migration policies are strongly influenced by public perceptions, political narratives, and societal debates. Advocacy and communication are deeply interconnected: What we say contributes to societal perceptions of migration, which in turn influences politics. Political debate defines our operational reality.Grounded in témoignage, speaking out and advocacy linked to our operational presence, MSF seeks to influence these debates.

As the Campaigns Manager, you will coordinate and deliver impactful public-facing campaigns in support of MSF's migration advocacy objectives.
