Internships and Employment

Equality Now has research and campaign internships and media and outreach internships. Research and campaign interns generally conduct legal and fact-finding research and draft Women's Action and campaign correspondence as the work requires. Media and outreach interns help out with media outreach, including assisting with drafting columns for newspapers and targeting other local media outlets. Interns may also attend meetings at the United Nations and participate in other advocacy efforts to further Equality Now's work.

Summer interns spend 8-10 weeks full-time with Equality Now and semester interns spend approximately 10 hours a week with Equality Now. Please note that internships are unpaid and no arrangements can be made for housing or visas.

Interested applicants should send a resume, a cover letter specifying which internship they are applying for, which office they would like to work in--New York, London or Nairobi--noting any foreign language skills, and a writing sample to info@equalitynow.org.
