MSAAW Foundation is inviting applications from eligible candidates for a legal internship through a call for interns.
About MSAAW Foundation
At MSAAW Foundation, we are working on addressing sexual abuse and gender-based violence by keeping the focus on aiding the victims but pinning the accountability on every other stakeholder to do their part in addressing it.
We are a youth-run organization that has professionals with a diverse portfolio to create a trauma-informed, victim-centric approach to sexual abuse/violence.
About Allyship Project
This is a community engagement program that focuses on engaging with various stakeholders in our communities. An intersectional approach shows the way that people’s social identities can overlap, creating compounding experiences of discrimination and we are working to zone in on creating an inclusive approach to create more effective allies in our communities.
