"I gained a lot of valuable experience during this internship. The pandemic has caused chaos all over the world and it was incredible that the IBA responded in such an organised manner and we were enabled to conduct the internship online. I am delighted that even though all communication was only “through the screen”, I was still able to meet a lot of incredible people. I feel the internship has contributed to my growth on a professional level and as a person."

"Working at the IBAHRI sharpened my analytical, research, and academic writing skills as well as expanded my professional network. It was a true honour to work alongside a talented, hard-working, and determined group of individuals who made every second of the internship memorable and meaningful. I am glad to have become a part of the IBAHRI community. This internship has reinforced my dedication to the protection of human rights."
