  1. Conducting desk research;
  2. Monitoring current events in Brazil;
  3. Identifying and understanding key issues in the Latin American region;
  4. Drafting documents;
  5. Assisting in the production of social media content and monitor press coverage;
  6. Assisting with translations and content reviews; and
  7. Other projects may be assigned as they arise and match the intern’s interests.

Additional opportunities:

  1. Attend and participate in planning and strategy meetings for our work in Brazil and the rest of Latin America;
  2. Access to HRW materials and publications; and
  3. Opportunities to attend lectures, trainings, professional development workshops, special events relating to human rights, as well as network with other HRW interns, volunteers, and employees.

Qualifications:

  1. Enrollment in an accredited graduate or undergraduate program in a Brazilian University for the duration of the internship term is required;
  2. Students studying law, international relations, journalism, or other highly relevant social sciences and/or humanities fields are strongly encouraged to apply.
  3. Applicants should be well-organized, self-motivated, and reliable;

Applicants who are offered an internship, but who are not Brazilian permanent residents or Brazilian citizens, must possess a valid visa for the duration of the internship. The process of obtaining an appropriate visa can take several weeks and applicants will have to incur their own costs.

Compensation: Internship compensation varies by jurisdiction based on local law and HRW policy. Interns in Brazil will receive a monthly gross stipend of BRL 1,500.00, which will be prorated based on the number of hours they intern. Interns will also be reimbursed for their lunch and local travel costs, if they are in the office, as per HRW Policy.

Students may be able to arrange academic credit, as Human Rights Watch internships often offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by HRW staff, and interaction with other international organizations. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.
