Having worked on human rights issues, you’ll have worked in or have substantial knowledge of Southeast Asia, particularly of the Pacific Islands. Fluency in written and spoken English, including excellent writing skills, is essential.
About us
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
