What is an international human rights professional?

International human rights jobs include positions in advocacy, outreach, lobbying, fundraising, and similar areas. International human rights organizations, which are often international nonprofits whose members frequently travel the world to support various aspects of human rights, do much of this work. As a member of such an organization, you may encourage countries to adopt a specific policy, help organize people who want to volunteer their time, bring notice to any violation of the principles of human rights, educate others on the potential human rights impact of a given law, or meet with members of a local or national government.
