Joining a gender equality internship is an incredible way to gain professional experience in international development and impact women’s lives in a local community! Throughout your internship, you’ll be an integral team member of a local non-profit organization working to combat the gender inequalities that harm women in African societies. These are a few of the unique projects you can expect to participate in throughout your internship. Gender equality workshops A key focus area during your internship will be leading women’s rights and female empowerment workshops! You’ll work with community members to educate women of all ages on six essential pillars: education, safety, health, early pregnancy, income generation and self-confidence. Running these educational workshops, you’ll engage in discussions with women struggling with gender inequality to discover sustainable and powerful ways in which they can take control of their future, pursue their dreams and live into their passions! Developing new programs Focusing on the six pillars mentioned above, you’ll explore exciting internship opportunities to get creative and develop new, engaging programs in which NGOs can promote gender equality in local communities. Developing new programs is an excellent opportunity to use your unique imagination to discover innovation in the field of female empowerment! Working together with local community members and women, you’ll find new ways to expand the reach of female empowerment programs and unique opportunities for community engagement.
