Dear Human Resources Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Gender-Based Violence Counselor position at WCWRC. With over 6 years of international clinical and field experience in GBV counseling and research, as well as 10 years of community-based work with diverse groups affected by violence and discrimination in North America and Africa, I am confident in my ability to make a valuable contribution to your organization.

During my studies in Peace and Conflict Studies and Psychology, I gained practical experience working with survivors of violence and deepened my understanding of gender-based violence and relevant policies and regulations. My background as a new-immigrant woman to Canada has also provided me with firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by newcomers and refugees.

I possess a nuanced understanding of gender-based violence and its impact on vulnerable groups, extensive experience in maintaining casework and developing safety plans, and strong community ties in Winnipeg. Additionally, my cross-cultural competency and communication skills make me well-equipped to work effectively with diverse populations.

I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to the possibility of discussing how my experience and skills align with the needs of WCWRC. Thank you for considering my application.

Yours faithfully,

Anamika Anwesha
