Office Of The High Commissioner For Human Rights (UN OHCHR) Minorities Fellowship Program 2025

Applications are now open for the 2025 UN OHCHR Minorities Fellowship Program, a unique opportunity for human rights defenders from national, ethnic, linguistic, and religious minority groups. Launched in 2005, this program is OHCHR’s most comprehensive training initiative aimed at empowering human rights activists to effectively advocate for minority rights. By the end of the program, fellows will gain a robust understanding of the United Nations system, international human rights instruments, and mechanisms, with a specific focus on the rights of minority communities. The fellowship also serves as an invaluable opportunity for global human rights defenders to broaden their networks by building strategic partnerships with activists from around the world, the United Nations, and relevant Geneva-based NGOs.

Benefits:
The programme is offered in three languages: English, Russian, and Arabic, and takes place in Geneva, Switzerland. Fellows are entitled to a return economy class ticket from their country of residence to Geneva, basic health insurance for the duration of the programme, and a stipend to cover modest accommodation and living expenses, ensuring that they can focus on their human rights education without financial burdens.
