Front Line Fellowship & Internships for human rights defenders
The Fellowship for Human Rights Defenders provides the opportunity for human rights defenders to take time out from their normal work to undertake a project which will further develop their capacities and contribute to the protection of human rights defenders internationally.
The Fellowship for Human Rights Defenders is supported by Irish Aid and EIDHR.
Front Line has launched an internship to provide support for the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights. The internship will last for 12 months and will be based at the ACHPR in Banjul, the Gambia. Front Line will prioritise the recruitment of interns who have experience as a human rights defender in Africa.
Other Internships
Front Line also offers some other internships which offer an opportunity to gain experience of working for an international human rights defenders organization.
