Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Human Rights Watch Full time

Africa Division Intern

Application Deadline: 15 April 2023


The Africa Division of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking a student intern to be based in its Johannesburg Office.

The intern will focus on gender-based violence and health rights in South Africa. Ideally, the intern will be available for a minimum of 10-15 hours per week from May to July 2023.


Interns are not expected to report to the office and remote arrangements will remain an option for the foreseeable future.

However, interns may have the option of reporting to an office on a voluntary basis.

Responsibilities:


The internship will consist primarily of desk research on different aspects of women's rights in South Africa, with a focus on enforced/coerced sterilization of women living with HIV.

Other responsibilities may include other small research assignments, press monitoring and compiling reports, data management and analysis, and drafting documents regarding human rights issues in South Africa.

The intern's duties may also include attending external meetings. Other projects may be assigned as they arise that match the student's interests and abilities.

Qualifications:

Applicants who are offered an internship must possess valid authorization to intern in South Africa.

Compensation:

Interns will receive a gross monthly stipend of R 6,000 per month, which will be pro-rated based on the number of hours they are in the "office", to help offset living expenses in accordance with HRW policy.

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 HRW staff, and interaction with other international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials.

Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.
