Application Deadline: 30 November 2024
General Description:
Human Rights Watch’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Rights Program is seeking an intern for the Berlin office to support its work in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The intern will focus on monitoring LGBT rights in LAC, conducting targeted research on law and policy in the region, and preparing written products.
Ideally, the candidate will be available 3-5 days per week (minimum 20 hours a week) beginning mid-January 2025 for three months (dates and hours are flexible), with the possibility to extend the internship a maximum of three months.
The candidate must be an enrolled student for the duration of the internship term and be eligible for a pflichtpraktikum, i.e. this should be a mandatory internship in relation to their studies.
Responsibilities:
Additional Opportunities:
Students may also have opportunities to attend internal staff meetings, external lectures, trainings, professional development workshops, and/or special events relating to human rights, as well as network with other HRW interns, volunteers, and employees. As an HRW intern, students will take skills acquired in school and apply them in a professional setting.
Qualifications:
Applicants who are offered an internship must possess valid work authorization in Germany for the duration of the internship.
Compensation: Interns based in Germany will receive a gross monthly stipend of EUR 450 to help offset living expenses in accordance with HRW policy. This gross stipend will be prorated per month to account for the intern’s schedule. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships may offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW staff, and interaction with other international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.
