ABColombia is looking for a dynamic person to work on issues related to human rights and development as part of the ABColombia team. The person should either have experience of working in issues related to social media and communications, human rights or development or a degree in human rights, development or a related subject. They should be fluent in English and have an advanced level of Spanish. Be flexible and able to work well in a small team.

As an intern you would assist with carrying out research, editing the website and other communications work including working on social media campaigns, the logistical planning and organisation of public events, meetings and human rights defender virtual tours. In addition, you would be required to help manage information and undertake a range of administrative tasks.

During the COVID pandemic you will be required to work, in the main, virtually. There is a possibility that the office will open at some point and that we will be able to have the occasional meeting in our offices. This requires a different form and level of communication that we hope might also be of benefit to learn over your internship period.
