Program description: |
|
|
Our Human Rights placements in South Africa are based in the bustling city of Cape Town, and give volunteers the opportunity to work on a really worthwhile project alongside respected humanitarian organisations, whilst also gaining first hand experience of human rights law in practice.
Volunteers with an interest in human rights, government & politics, campaigning, and even writers interested in social justice issues, will be put to great use in marginalised communities in and around Cape Town; either working alongside one of our partner organisations, or at our own Projects Abroad Human Rights initiative.
Whichever placement you join, you’ll be working alongside qualified and passionate individuals who will vastly increase your knowledge of Human Rights, campaigning, community involvement, the legal system and the politics of governance. You’ll be given the opportunity to expand your horizons whilst also making a real impact on people’s quality of life.
With its brutal history of apartheid and colonialism, there can be few better places than South Africa to get involved in campaigning for human rights. Our Human Rights projects in Cape Town offer volunteers the unique opportunity to get involved at grass roots level, raising awareness of human rights in a variety of marginalised communities or at risk groups such as prisoners, children, women, or those in rural communities throughout the Western Cape.
A voluntary placement with Projects Abroad in Cape Town would be a valuable addition to your CV in the notoriously competitive world of Law, Human Rights or International Development, and might just secure you that lucrative first job once you graduate.
Your precise role will be determined by your background and level of interest in specific areas. Placements are ideal if you are a law student, journalist or graduate seeking practical experience in human rights. However, the work is also suitable if you're volunteering pre-university, or you only have a general interest in human rights. Some placements will accept volunteers for one month while others require you to commit to at least three months on the placement and have some law experience. Please contact our staff if you would like further information on which placements you qualify for.
However long you join a project for you will need to be flexible, communicate well and work hard. Placements are certainly demanding and must be taken seriously; you will be representing a professional organisation. You may sometimes have deadlines and you may be asked to represent these organisations at rallies, private interviews, government meetings and other events.
