To support IPPFWHR’s expanded ecosystem, the Unit will create feminist structures that enable partners and others to bring their expertise and knowledge from the grassroots, national, and regional levels to global forums, as well as for bringing recommendations from global spaces back to activists on the ground.

The Policy Research Intern will provide critical research and knowledge management support in the development and implementation of the Unit’s policy research portfolio.
