Call for application: Graduate Legal Fellow at Justice Without Borders

 

Calling Indonesian Law Graduates!

Applicants welcome for our Fellowship Program


Justice Without Borders (JWB) is inviting applications for an Indonesia-based Legal Fellowship position. This position focuses on supporting JWB’s work in ensuring access to justice for Indonesian migrant workers in the countries they’ve worked in, but where they’re no longer staying.

This is an excellent opportunity for recent law graduates interested in getting hands-on experience at an international non-profit organisation that operates across the region.


The position includes a stipend and is available starting immediately. It entails a minimum 12-month commitment. While we currently work mostly from home because of Covid, our office location is in Depok, near Universitas Indonesia.



About JWB


JWB is a regional not-for-profit organisation that seeks to advance cross-border access to justice for victims of labour exploitation and human trafficking, even after they return home. Focusing on building access to civil and administrative remedies, JWB’s work covers key destination and source countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Strategically, JWB develops the knowledge, know-how, and networks needed to make access to justice a reality for migrant workers, no matter where they happen to be.
