Asia Division Intern

Application Deadline: 1 March 2025

The Asia Division of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking student interns in the Tokyo office. Ideally, the interns will be available part-time beginning of April 2025 through the end of September 2025, dates and times are flexible. The interns will focus on projects surrounding domestic and international issues of Japan.

Responsibilities:

The internship will primarily focus on assisting with HRW research on domestic and international human rights issues related to Japan, as well as with advocacy on those issues. The interns will build skills in conducting desk research, analyzing data, and organizing advocacy efforts regarding issues in Asia and beyond. The interns may have opportunities to attend external meetings with staff in the Asia division. Other projects may be assigned as they arise and match the student’s interests and abilities.

Students will also have opportunities to attend lectures, trainings, professional development workshops, special events relating to human rights, as well as network with other HRW interns, volunteers, and employees. As an HRW intern, students will take skills acquired in school and apply them in a professional setting.

Qualifications:

Interns must be undergraduate students or graduate students for the duration of the internship term. Students with relevant coursework in human rights are encouraged to apply. Applicants should be well-organized, self-motivated and reliable, with strong attention to detail. A demonstrated strong interest in human rights is highly desirable. Computer skills (Microsoft Office, Excel, internet applications) and internet research skills are essential. Advanced level proficiency in Japanese and English (both in writing and speaking) is highly desirable.

Applicants who are offered an internship must possess valid work authorization in Japan for the duration of the internship.

Compensation:

Interns will receive a gross stipend of 800 yen per day for lunch expenses if they are in the office in accordance with HRW policy and the intern. Interns will be reimbursed up to 2000 yen per day for transportation if they are in the office. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships may offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW staff, and interaction with other U.S and international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.
