Many arrive in Brazil in situations of extreme vulnerability, without financial resources, housing, immediate access to essential services, and with significant mental health consequences for directly affected individuals. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Brazil has been implementing a project to support the Brazilian government in ensuring that forcibly returned Brazilian citizens are received with dignity, that their human rights are respected, and that they receive support to overcome vulnerabilities and reintegrate into society.ย ย Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission and the direct supervision of the Project Coordinator, the Protection Coordinator will be responsible for the coordination, implementation and monitoring of protection related projects and initiatives, including but not limited to: trafficking in persons, migrant smuggling, gender-based violence, child protection, forcibly return and reintegration, regularization, border governance, legal identity, protection against sexual exploitation and abuse, and protection in humanitarian settings.
