Joint Internship
The RPP and NWP of the Open Society Institute announce a joint
internship on Roma Women's Issues. The purpose of the internship is to

perspectives into their programs' activities.
Specific tasks of the intern will include:
- making a database of Roma women's organizations and woman leaders in
the region
- evaluation of the potential of other OSI programs to include Roma
women's perspectives into their work
- gathering reference data (documents, papers, any written material in
languages including Romani and English) on the issues of Roma women in
the region
- to provide recommendations to RPP and NWP on best strategies for
reaching out to Roma women's communities and to develop specific
projects to address Roma women's issues;
The intern will work closely with the two programs as well as with
national OSI foundations.
The internship will be for 6 months, starting January 1999. Time will
be divided in New York, Budapest, and one's home country.
The intern should be a Romani woman with some education, a citizen of
one of the OSI Network countries, should have experience with a Roma
or women's NGO, must speak English and Romani, must have good
organizational skills, and must know how to use Microsoft Word.
