HRAP is designed for human rights activists working with NGOs on various issues, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants are selected on the basis of their professional experience in human rights, commitment to the field and ability to undertake postgraduate studies. Full-time students, academics or government employees will not be considered. Preference is given to candidates who have full-time law jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applicants must work locally and come from lower-income countries, unless they represent marginalised communities. Fluency in English is required and preference is given to those without previous international travel and study opportunities. A bachelor's degree is preferred, but not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants must provide the institutional endorsement of their organisations, committing themselves to return to their organisations after the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applications from qualified human rights defenders around the world are welcome. After conducting a rigorous selection process, ISHR makes every effort to secure funding for the shortlisted defenders. In cases where the ISHR is unable to secure funding, shortlisted defenders may need to raise their own funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generous donors support defenders working for LGBT, disability and SRHR rights in Latin America and Africa. The Harriman Institute at Columbia University sponsors a defender from Russia, Eurasia or Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defenders learn about oral history at StoryCorps in Brooklyn.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The application must be completed entirely in English.
