"Working at IAWJ was a pleasure. All of the people are very kind and knowledgeable and willing to support in any way that they can. It was a great way for me to gain experience in the field and I felt as though I was doing actual work that was helping the organization and not just grunt work. It was truly such a great experience and I look forward to crossing paths with the organization in the future."

I've always had the desire to protect and promote the rights of those susceptible to injustice, including women. Having internship with the IAWJ gave me the opportunity to develop article writing skills, as well as exposure to their programs that pursue the same advocacies."
