Consultant for ROAR II Project Endline Assessment 

Background and Context

ROAR II worked to ensure stateless, migrant, and Thai youth (disaggregated by gender and disability) in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai will be empowered as decision makers and leaders to protect all girls and boys from online sexual abuse and exploitation. This initiative will also raise their voices on solutions to inclusive policy implementation at the national and ASEAN level.

TARGET BENEFICIARIES: During 2023-24 Save the Children will work with 1,500 children and young people and 60 youth leaders to develop interventions to reach 30,000 people (25,000 children and young people and 5,000 adults) through 15 children and youth led campaigns in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai through three phases:

PHASE 1: RESEARCH, Participatory Action Research (PAR) led by youth through evidence-based research and gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) approach for online safety solutions.

PHASE 2: DEVELOPMENT, Children and youth inclusive of those with diverse SOGIESC have increased access to digital and offline solutions, tailored to their context and key risks, that they co-develop themselves.

PHASE 3: ADVOCACY, Local campaigns as well as national and regional advocacy strategies designed by children and youth inclusive of those with diverse SOGIESC lead to increased awareness on online safety and resilience and the adoption of online safety solutions and recommendations. 

Location; 8 Schools in Chiang Rai Province and 7 Schools in Chiang Mai Province.

Implementing Partner; ECPAT Foundation Thailand

Together Westpac and Save the Children (Thailand) Foundation will empower stateless, migrant and Thai youth as decision makers and leaders to protect all girls and boys from online sexual abuse and exploitation. This initiative will raise their voices on solutions to inclusive policy implementation at the national and ASEAN level.

With the support from Westpac, Save the Children (Thailand) Foundation will scale up and expand the Respect Ourselves Accentuate Resilience (ROAR) model to two new geographical areas in the north of Thailand, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, both hotspots for offline sexual exploitation of children.

Save the Children (Thailand) Foundation will work closely with selected Thai government public schools in rural areas which have a diverse mixture of Thai, ethnic minority and stateless girls and boys (aged 12-17) to identify and adopt youth-led solutions to sexual exploitation of children.

This will be done so through new partners ECPAT Foundation Thailand (EF) and Child Online Protection Action Thailand (COPAT), as well as through empowering Ray of Youth, a youth-led partner organization from the ROAR pilot in Tak Province to become mentors to the youths in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

The support from Westpac will also provide a bridge to sustainability for the youths from the existing ROAR Project in Tak Province by allowing them to create more youth-led campaigns, as well as scale up efforts on advocacy at both the national and ASEAN level.
