IWRAW Asia Pacific has an on-going internship programme that offers successful applicants exposure to a range of women's human rights issues and knowledge on CEDAW and related treaty bodies. You will also be able to gain research, advocacy and/or organising skills. Depending on the duration and timing of the internship, we also usually provide interns with a chance to gain hands-on experience through involvement in one of our trainings. Interns are also expected to help out with day-to-day administrative work in the office.
Preference is given to applicants who meet the following criteria:
- Those who can stay with us ideally for three months (or longer) or at minimum, one month.
- Those who have recently completed or are in the process of completing a masters degree related to human rights, social justice and/or feminism, and preferably with a legal background and/or experience.
Please bear in mind that internships with us are not paid. Applicants are advised to seek financial support independently.

- A cover letter (indicating your strengths, areas of interest, and the timing and duration of internship sought);
