Internship at the Policy, Advocacy & Press unit

Are you committed to supporting women’s rights and eager to deepen your understanding of how advocacy and policy can drive change,

while contributing to Kvinna till Kvinna’s work for women’s rights and lasting peace?

Then an internship with Kvinna till Kvinna’s Communications & Policy Department at our head office in Stockholm during the spring

semester 2027 could be for you.

You would be part of the Policy, Advocacy & Press Unit, which develops reports, policies and recommendations based on evidence

from our programme countries. We facilitate spaces for internal exchange across the organisation, organise meetings and events

with external stakeholders and represent Kvinna till Kvinna in policy processes, meetings and conferences. Our work focuses on

women’s participation in peacebuilding and women’s rights in conflict and post-conflict settings.

The internship is intended to make a practical contribution to the work of the organisation through fulfilling identified duties

and responsibilities, and to offer a learning opportunity for you as an intern.

The internship is based in Stockholm, and you will be part of a group of other interns, our communications team, as well as our

global organisation.

• Different types of research on our thematic areas: feminist peace; gender-based violence and SRHR; political and economic

rights; environment and climate, and feminist movement building.

• Support the drafting of advocacy messages and texts for external communication such as social media, the website and our

newsletter.

We believe you have strong research skills, enabling you to support policy and advocacy initiatives with well-structured analysis

and materials. Additionally, your strong communication skills in both English and Swedish allow you to draft clear and impactful

advocacy messages for diverse audiences. A strong background in or solid knowledge of Swedish politics from a gender equality

perspective is meritorious.

Furthermore, you share our values: Courage, Commitment, and Credibility, as a means of embracing diversity, practicing

intersectional feminism, and challenging inequities.

• Studies in Political Science, Global Development Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, International Relations, Human Rights, or

the equivalent.

• University credits in Gender Studies, or knowledge of and interest in Gender Equality and Women’s Rights demonstrated in other

ways.

• At Kvinna till Kvinna, you will become part of an inspiring workplace with dedicated colleagues working for women’s rights and

gender equality around the world, as well as a group of interns based at the office in Stockholm.

• The internship is intended for you who are looking for an internship as part of your current studies, preferably where you

receive reimbursement from CSN, Erasmus+ or other funds, or as part of a labour integration programme supporting internships,

for instance through Arbetsförmedlingen.
