The Asia Division of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking student interns in the Tokyo office. Ideally, the interns will be available part-time from October 2026 through the end of March 2027. The interns will focus on projects surrounding domestic and international issues of Japan.
Students will also have opportunities to attend lectures, trainings, professional development workshops, special events relating to human rights, as well as network with other HRW interns, volunteers, and employees. As an HRW intern, students will take skills acquired in school and apply them in a professional setting.
Responsibilities: The internship will primarily focus on the following:
- Assisting with HRW research on domestic and international human rights issues related to Japan, as well as with advocacy on those issues;
- Conducting desk research, analyzing data, and organizing advocacy efforts regarding issues in Asia and beyond;
- Attending external meetings with staff in the Asia division; and
- Other projects may be assigned as they arise and match the student's interests and abilities.
Qualifications:
- Applicants must be undergraduate or graduate students for the duration of the internship term;
- Students with relevant coursework in human rights are encouraged to apply;
- Strong organizational skills, a proactive approach to projects, and reliability with strong attention to detail are required;
- A demonstrated strong interest in human rights is highly desirable;
- Computer skills (Microsoft Office, Excel, internet applications) and internet research skills are essential; and
- Advanced level proficiency in Japanese and English (both in writing and speaking) is highly desirable.
Applicants who are offered an internship must possess valid work authorization in Japan for the duration of the internship.
Compensation:
Internship compensation varies by jurisdiction based on local laws and HRW policy. Interns in Japan will receive a gross stipend of 800 yen per day they are in the office for lunch expenses in accordance with HRW policy. Interns will be reimbursed up to 2000 yen per day they are in the office for transportation. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships may offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW staff, and interaction with other international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.
