The National Human Rights Society of Malaysia (HAKAM) was formed in 1988 in response to growing concerns over human rights violations in Malaysia. The call to form HAKAM came from two of the nation’s former Prime Ministers, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj and Tun Hussein Onn, alongside other prominent leaders of civil society.
The society’s objectives are, inter alia, to promote, preserve and defend human rights in Malaysia. Over the years, HAKAM has engaged in a wide range of issues, from advocating for the rights of indigenous communities, lobbying to abolish draconian laws inconsistent with principles of human rights, raising awareness of human rights through campaigns guided by research projects, and pushing for ratification of international and regional human rights instruments.
HAKAM strives to continue advocating for human rights, in the hopes of inculcating new generations of Malaysians who can bravely speak out for themselves.”
Applications are now open and close Monday 15 May, 2017
Duration: Minimum of 8 weeks to 12 weeks from August to October 2017
Student Mobility Funding: a new bursary of $5000 is available for eligible students

Monash Law Faculty are offering students FREE professional headshots for LinkedIn. Participants will also receive advice on creating an effective LinkedIn page from Monash Career Connect.
Having a professional online profile has never been more important. LinkedIn with its 277 million members is the world’s largest professional network. A whopping 94 percent of recruiters use it to vet candidates, and when someone googles you, your LinkedIn profile will likely show up in the first or second spot.
Having a professionally presented LinkedIn page gives you an opportunity to control what they discover about your strengths and, more important, about your brand. And first impressions matter! Where two candidates are equally qualified, a professionally taken headshot will give you an edge.
