Human Rights Advocacy in Tanzania
We seek open-minded, passionate, hardworking individuals to join our Art in Tanzania Human Rights internship. The program focuses on protecting and advocating the rights of children, women, and people with disabilities. We cover child marriage, gender equality, and the right to education. We comply with The Childrenâs Agenda Tanzania program, which focuses on childrenâs and womenâs rights. A team of NGOs developed the Childrenâs Agenda program, including UNICEF and Saved the Children. The Ministry of Community Work Gender and Children chaired the work.
The internshipâs practical tasks include advocating, teaching, and raising awareness for human rights issues faced in Tanzania. In addition, participants will work with the local community to provide education and support, visiting schools and orphanages and working with local women. We also work closely with tribal communities in more rural areas. Here, you will be immersed in a different way of life and help protect the rights of women and children.
Interns will gain incredible experience in a developing economy, discover a new perspective on global rights issues, develop skills such as public speaking, independence, resilience, and problem-solving, and create memories of a lifetime. Contact us for more information or fill out the program application form.
