L to R Marianna Linnik, Neda Monshat, Carly Price, Divina Naidu, Felicity Simons, Jessica Malin and Tania Marcello

In October 2008 the Castan Centre awarded seven internships to Monash law students who have shown a strong and continuing interest in the study and practical application of human rights.  These internships take place from November 2008 to May 2009 at Human Rights First, New York City; the Australian Delegation to the Human Rights Council, Geneva; International Women's Rights Action Watch - Asia Pacific, Kuala Lumpur; United Nations Global Compact, New York City; Oxfam Australia, South Africa (2 positions); and International Commission of Jurists, Geneva.

These seven students are given the unique opportunity to experience and contribute to international human rights organisations first hand.  To find out more about the organisations and the background of the Castan interns, please see the intern profiles below.
