Amnesty International investigates and documents human rights abuses; this work is fundamental to our advocacy and lobbying efforts. Our researchers are from wide-ranging backgrounds such as activism, academia, the law, or journalism and can identify and thoroughly investigate those issues, and ensure our voice has authority.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a Researcher to join our South-East Asia and Pacific team to focus primarily on Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Brunei. You’ll take the lead responsibility for developing strategies and a programme of human rights research, utilising your country expertise, research skills and sound political judgement.
About You:
You’ll have excellent writing and research skills and are comfortable working as part of a large and diverse team. Having worked on human rights issues, you’ll have worked in or have substantial knowledge of South-East Asia, particularly of Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Brunei. Fluency in written and spoken English, including excellent writing skills, is essential. Proficiency in written and spoken Bahasa Malaysia would be an advantage.
About Us:
Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million people who campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. We reach almost every country in the world and have:
- more than 2 million members and supporters who drive forward our fight for rights
- more than 5 million activists who strengthen our calls for justice
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
