We’re saying NO to unpaid internships! They make opportunities inaccessible to qualified candidates who cannot afford to work without pay. We join Fair Internship Initiative in advocating for fair & accessible internship programmes in the UN system. #Payyourinterns #UNpaid = #UNfair

Check out UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency Deputy High Commissioner Kelly Clements on #InternationalInternsDay thanking Fair Internship Initiative for our recommendations to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency corporate guidance on internships.

HAPPENING TODAY! Pizza while we create pizzaz for the Global Intern Strike! See you there!

The gratis personnel report of the Secretariat provides a retrospective look into the number of interns in the Secretariat for a given period. The latest 2021 report proves, once again, how unpaid internships undermine UN's declarations and supposed commitment to diversity 1/3

For ex between 2020 and 2021, East Asia & Pacific, & Sub-saharan Africa had the biggest drop in interns. Perhaps this was due to time difference while the UN favoured remote internships, but also proves African countries had fewer interns during remote work 2/3

This proves, once more, why remote and unpaid internships decrease number of interns from developing countries and should not be allowed in 2023. Join this upcoming #GlobalInternsStrike in Geneva physically and the rest of the world digitally, to call to #banunpaidinternships 3/3

Unpaid internships are unfair, undermine UN's declarations on diversity & increase intern vulnerability. We call EVERYONE (not just interns) to join the annual #GlobalInternStrike on February 20th in Geneva physically and globally here on UN's Social Justice day #UNpaidisUNfair

Today is the Global Intern Strike 2023! 🥳 Join UN interns from Geneva, Copenhagen, Nairobi and more in striking for paid internships, basic rights and commitments to diversity and inclusion across all UN internships🇺🇳 #UNpaidisUNfair #PayYourInterns #GlobalInternStrike2023

In solidarity of the Fair Internship Initiative Fair Internship Initiative's global strike, we convened an action to show support and kick off the formalization of an Intern Committee in Nairobi. Nairobi-specific claims are to be collected still but long term goal: #UNpaid #UNfair #UNacceptable

On this World Day of #SocialJustice ⚖️🌎we stand by interns who are striking globally & demanding their rights to fair pay 💰 #BanUnpaidInternships #UNpaidisUNfair #PayYourInterns #GlobalInternStrike2023 Fair Internship Initiative
