Are you:

• Interested in defending women’s rights?
• A student who has completed at least two years of studies related to law or gender studies (BA)?
• Interested in applying your knowledge to real policies while learning from a dedicated team of experienced researchers, activists, and gender equality experts?

Then this internship is for you!

Cathy Frischmann was a women’s rights activist, feminist, human rights defender, mobilizer of women’s political engagement, botanist who protected native plants, and much more. Cathy loved life, which is why she dedicated hers to defending the rights and lives of others. She worked tirelessly to make the world a more just and equitable place. Cathy passed away from cancer in 2023.

Cathy’s love for Kosovo began in 2004, when she first met with member organizations of the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN). That connection lives on today through the legacy she left behind: an internship fund established in her name. Through this annual internship, KWN continues to inspire and support new generations of women’s rights activists.

This year, KWN is seeking an Intern to join our team for six months.

Main Responsibilities

The intern will support gender-responsive legal analysis and research, focusing on reviewing draft laws and policies to assess whether, and how, they address the needs and realities of diverse women and men.

While basic legal knowledge and familiarity with gender equality concepts are required, specific methodologies and tools will be provided through mentorship and supervision. This is a modestly paid internship with flexible working hours, adjustable to students’ needs.
