    The Women of Burma program has been running since 1997, and has contributed to the growth of women’s leadership in the Burma movement.

    The successful applicant will have the opportunity to contribute directly to the capacity development of young activists who work in challenging conditions for human rights in Burma. You will anchor this program and be primarily responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering trainings for each batch of diverse women during each 5 ½ month-long semester.

    We are looking for a resilient and committed woman to our team as an intern for twelve (12) months, carrying out the duties listed below while maintaining a sense of humor. At the end of the internship, a fulltime job will be offered to the successful candidate, depending on performance, team dynamics and funding. Women candidates who have experience volunteering or working in the Burma movement or other human rights movements will be at an advantage. This position is reserved for female candidates only, as some of our trainees are women who have been exposed to serious human rights violations, and would feel more confident sharing with a female trainer.
