EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR- CENTRE FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Organization: CENTRE FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Job Title: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Reports to: MANAGING TRUSTEE

Location: DELHI

Introduction:

- Centre for Health and Social Justice (CHSJ) was set up in 2005 as a Public Charitable Trust to promote social justice with specific reference to the fields of health, human development, gender equality and human rights.

- CHSJ was envisioned by a group of experienced development professionals who were keen to promote the overall health status of vulnerable communities. The work started at the same time that the Government of India announced the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) to strengthen public health systems in the country. CHSJ was engaged in supporting the government initiative by developing and piloting several projects to bring communities and health systems closer to each other, with a particular focus on vulnerable and marginalized communities. Reproductive Health, particularly maternal health and family planning were two areas where CHSJ was very proactive. CHSJ also took up the challenge of promoting gender equality by engaging men and boys as active participants in this process.

- Over the years the activities of CHSJ have evolved in view of the changing context but in consonance with its aims and objectives. Using a range of strategies including community engagement, research, creative communications and advocacy CHSJ has been able to create a niche for itself both in the national arena as well as globally both in the domains of Health Governance and Men and Gender Equality.
