About ISHR
ISHR is an independent, non-profit organisation with offices in Geneva and New York. Volunteers will enjoy a unique opportunity to view the United Nations human rights system at work and to contribute to our mission: supporting human rights defenders, strengthening human rights systems, building and leading human rights coalitions, and responding to significant and systemic human rights concerns. For more information, consult our website https://ishr.ch/.
Volunteering at ISHR
Volunteers will contribute to our work supporting people defending human rights in several countries, advocating at the United Nations and strengthening coalitions. Several topics will be covered, including women’s rights, the rights of LGBTIQ+ people, environmental justice, the rights of Indigenous Peoples, protection laws for human rights defenders, non-discrimination etc. ISHR is currently looking for volunteers to help our Communications & Campaigns teams with video editing, translations and social media. The list of tasks below gives an overview of what one or more volunteers could work on, depending on their individual skills, experience and preference. Likewise, items listed under “Requirements” highlight the type of expertise and skills relevant to ISHR - we do not expect to find all of them in one single volunteer, though.
