ABOUT US
We are an international student-led organisation, run by and for students, committed to create a worldwide network of young advocates and Human Rights organisations in order to shape the next generation of Human Rights professionals.
WHY
Human rights organisations worldwide are overworked. There is an increasing number of students interested to dedicate their life to human rights protection. Yet, it appears to be very difficult to make the first step in this career path.
80%
of students wish to get experience in human rights.
VS
less than 20%
of students could find and secure an internship in human rights.
Tons of overworked local Human Rights organisations worldwide.
WE ARE THE SOLUTION
It is clear that there is a gap between students and Human Rights organizations that is in need of a bridge. And this is where INTERNaction comes in. For the past two years we have been bridging the gap by securing students with legal internship spots at local Human Rights NGOs worldwide: students get experience and NGOs get the qualified help they need. And this is only the beginning of what the next generation of human rights advocates can do.

Conducting an internship at a human rights NGO in the Philippines was an enriching and humbling experience to say the least. Encouraging victims of sexual abuse and sex trafficking to fight for justice through legal means and seeing the success with your own eyes was the most fulfilling part of the whole experience. I believe that the unique system of interns being able to interact with the victims of such heinous crimes increases the persons’ understanding of the psychological/mental effects of abused children, which is oftentimes forgotten.
