[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.
