About the Award: The fellow will work closely with WILPF staff on monitoring, research and communications support on Women, Peace and Security issues in New York.

This competitive fellowship is primarily aimed at individuals early in their careers who are interested in women, peace and security issues related to disarmament and women’s human rights.
