The WILPF currently annually offers two 11-month internships for young women who wish to learn more about the work of our organization in the areas of disarmament/economic justice and human rights, in the context of the United Nations and International Organizations. The internships run from mid-January to mid-December each year. Deadline for applications is 1 May of the previous year. The interns reside in Geneva. The programme focuses on work of the United Nations, WILPF, and the community of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in either disarmament/economic justice or human rights. WILPF sees these issues as inter-related and emphasizes the need for a gender perspective. The interns prepare articles, reports and other materials in their respective subject areas for publication by WILPF and help in the preparation of WILPF meetings. Interns attend NGO and UN meetings on behalf of WILPF. They also assist in carrying out the daily tasks of the International Secretariat.
