UN Women - Partnerships and Visibility Internship - Nordic Liaison Office

Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. 

UN Women Nordic Office is located in the UN City within Copenhagen. The office is responsible for strategic partnerships including resource mobilization, advocacy and communication in the Nordic and Baltic regions. Key partners include governments, parliamentarians, the media, civil society, the private sector, and other UN agencies.

As a Partnerships and Visibility intern at the UN Women Nordic Liaison Office, you will gain a deeper understanding of UN communication strategies and methods, as well as insight into global challenges and current gender equality efforts of the international community. The internship will provide excellent learning opportunities through participating in UN Women’s engagement with diverse stakeholders throughout the Nordic and Baltic regions, both internal and external to the UN, to advance gender equality worldwide. As part of a dynamic office, interns at UN Women are also part of the wider UN City community.
