This is one of the most international coalitions to ever join in calling for the release of a Chinese AIDS activist — and includes the Asia-Pacific Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (APN+) and South Africa’s 2-million-strong labor union, COSATU, among many other notable names from Asia, Africa and the US.
[NEWS] Summer Internship at Chinese Legal NGO
Darius Longarino writes:
Last summer, I worked for Yirenping, a domestic Chinese NGO that specializes in anti-discrimination litigation. They focus on Hepatitis B discrimination, but also recently brought the first ever HIV discrimination case to be accepted by a
Chinese court (they lost, but are appealing). The staff at Yirenping asked me to circulate the job announcement (link below) widely. The deadline is February 28th, but I believe they will be choosing applicants in a semi-rolling fashion, so it
will be better for people to apply sooner rather than later.
