Human Rights Internships Abroad in Cambodia
Human Rights interns work with one of our partner Human Rights organizations in Phnom Penh. The organizations are non-profit NGOs that focus on a variety of Human Rights issues through promoting people's rights and consultation. The organizations work to represent local communities and develop laws that are in the public interest. They also train groups like Commune Councils so they understand the rights communities possess.
Recent areas that these organizations have been involved in include promoting housing rights by helping groups that have been evicted from certain areas gain compensation for losing their land working with marginalized communities at risk of losing their livelihoods.
Interning with Projects Abroad in Phnom Penh would be a valuable addition to your resume and might just secure you that ideal first job once you graduate.
International Human Rights Experience with Projects Abroad
Your precise role will be determined by your background and level of interest in specific areas. Interns work under the supervision of the local staff. Depending which organization you join you could be working in some of the following areas: housing rights, women's rights, rights of indigenous people, and workers’ rights.
The majority of the work is usually office based, though you may occasionally have the opportunity to participate in site visits within Phnom Penh, attend meetings or workshops, or visit one of the provinces. All interns can expect to be involved in researching and collecting documents, compiling reports, and editing and translating written materials.
