How can you make a difference?  

Oky is a digital public good (DPG): an open-source mobile menstruation education and period tracking application cocreated with and for adolescent girls of all abilities in low- and middle-income countries. Available across mobile, desktop, SMS, IVR, and radio, Oky delivers safe, evidence-based, and girl-centered information on menstruation and adolescent health, addressing stigma, misinformation, and the gender digital divide. Designed around girls' digital realities, including constraints related to connectivity, device access, literacy, safeguarding, privacy, and data protection, Oky is now scaling globally through a growing network of localized country deployments alongside a maintained global version.

Girls with disabilities are too often marginalized in conversations about menstruation and sexual and reproductive health, facing compounded stigma rooted in social and gender norms around their bodies, their disability, and their access to digital tools. Disability inclusion is therefore central to Oky's mission and significant progress has been made. By providing accessible, contextualized, and relevant content, Oky aims to reduce stigma and shame and to enable girls with disabilities and their caregivers to both contribute to and benefit from a trusted digital platform.

UNICEF Digital Impact Division DCOE Gender and Technology is seeking a Digital Disability Inclusion Consultant to lead the next phase of Oky's accessibility and inclusion work, supporting further product adaptation, content development, and user acquisition amongst girls with disabilities and their caregivers across Oky's key markets, in partnership with Organizations of People with Disabilities (OPDs).
