Program Information

Women’s Rights & Education internships provide opportunities to learn from organizations that make a difference, through expansion of humanitarian programming. The organizations that host interns within this field typically embrace both Moroccans and non Moroccans, ensuring that support is inclusively available for migrants and refugee women. Program efforts broadly focus on priorities such as equitable growth opportunities, transition into employment, protection of diversity, and valorization of culture. As an intern you’ll get stuck in alongside dedicated advocates to raise awareness around women’s rights, reproductive health and domestic violence, promoting female independence, autonomy, and happiness.

This program ranges from 4-24 weeks and has start dates every Monday throughout the year.

Your fully-hosted experience includes sourcing of your internship placement, personalization of your project plan, airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, some meals, and onsite student support. See our full list of fees and inclusions on our website.

Eligibility Requirements

Suitable for students and recent graduates with studies related to psychology, education, law, conflict resolution, or related fields.

This internship is conducted in English. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to a certain extent. We encourage all interns to take advantage of language lessons, which can be taken in conjunction with the internship.

Internship Details

The progression of women’s rights within Morocco is challenged by a history of inequality. However, recent efforts have been made to improve the socio-economic conditions for women. Recent amendments to legislation support increased female representation across a range of sectors. Showing global leadership, Morocco is the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to mandate women’s participation in top managerial positions! While emerging support continues to advance rights and education for women, organizations still have much work to do, to address the disparities which persist.

Women’s Rights & Education internships provide opportunities to learn from organizations that make a difference, through expansion of humanitarian programs and more. While many organizations working within this field are focused on both Moroccans and migrants or refugees, they may also represent international efforts being made to broadly tackle issues on a larger scale. Whether focused on economic and social solidarity or women’s equality, they give interns an opportunity to learn how NGOs function within this arena.

To receive your Women’s Rights & Education internship placement in Morocco - once you have confirmed your participation - you’ll be asked to provide a copy of your resume and a cover letter. All interns are provided placement details, in consideration of your interests, skills, study background, and previous experience level. If there is a particular issue you’re interested in or would like to learn more about, just let us know. We do our utmost to accommodate preferences, subject to availability.

French and/or Arabic language proficiency is not a requirement to join this internship. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to various extents. Interns should be prepared for the very natural and normal frustration of not always understanding what is being said around them. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it. Bear in mind that language lessons can be added to the experience and we encourage participants to consider signing up for these.

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

Typical Schedule: Approximately Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm.
