The Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (ADHOC) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit and non-governmental organisation. ADHOC’s vision is a society that respects human rights and law. For more than 33 years, ADHOC has worked to address the absence of basic rights, freedoms and liberties in Cambodia by providing people with knowledge and understanding of human rights, law and democracy, and how to defend their rights and freedoms. ADHOC is comprised of two sections – the Human Rights and Land Rights Section, and the Women’s and Children’s Rights Section.
The Central Office is regularly seeking for Interns to assist ADHOC’s two Sections. Interns will be based in ADHOC’s Central Office in Phnom Penh and Provincial offices. ADHOC will give priority to applicants who can commit to a period of 3 to 6 months. ADHOC encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
Internships are unpaid. ADHOC is unfortunately unable to propose paid internships and to cover or contribute to any costs associated with travel arrangements, visas, accommodation, etc.
