Background UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development within the United Nations Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through its Global Policy Network (GPN), UNDP brings together technical expertise from headquarters, regional hubs and country offices to deliver integrated policy and programme support across a wide range of development challenges. Within the GPN, the Governance, Rule of Law and Peacebuilding Hub leads UNDP’s work on governance, rule of law, human rights and peacebuilding. The Rule of Law, Human Rights and Security unit is part of the Governance, Rule of Law and Peacebuilding Team at the UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub (BRH). The team supports countries across Asia and the Pacific to strengthen access to justice, advance human rights, promote people-centred justice approaches, and build inclusive, effective and accountable justice institutions. This work contributes directly to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 on peaceful, just and inclusive societies and supports progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Within this framework, advancing gender equality in justice systems is a key regional priority. Across Asia and the Pacific, women remain significantly underrepresented in judicial leadership positions despite growing evidence that diverse and inclusive judiciaries strengthen public trust, improve access to justice, contribute to more accountable institutions, and promote more gender-responsive justice processes. Research and country experiences demonstrate that greater representation of women in judicial leadership strengthens institutional legitimacy, improves decision-making, and enhances the protection of rights and access to justice. In response to these challenges and opportunities, UNDP is supporting the establishment of the Asia and the Pacific Women Judges Network (APWJN), a regional platform designed to connect women judges, judicial institutions and justice sector partners to advance peer exchange, leadership development, institutional reform and gender-responsive justice systems. The initiative responds to increasing demand from judiciaries across the region for greater opportunities for peer learning, leadership development, regional collaboration, and evidence on women\u2019s representation in justice institutions. To support the effective implementation, coordination and delivery of this growing regional portfolio on gender justice and women’s leadership in the judiciary, UNDP seeks a Gender Justice Project Analyst (IPSA-9) based in Bangkok.
