@UN interns are not #NotTooYoungTo vote, recognize inequality, or change the system. We are #NotTooYoungToGetPaid https://t.co/HAm331jyqP

Ready to start the new year with a bank? Oops, typo ofc, most interns will still be lucky to step foot in one. A bang we meant.

Welcome back.

Looking for some light reading for the weekend? The UN isn't the only place the "runs" on interns (especially UNpaid). Let aspire that 2022 will be the year of change finally and call on the @UN to start paying what is due to their interns. Happy 2022!

Wanna fight injustice? Promote intern/intern candidates' rights? Recently we received an anonymous tip about a UN entity allegedly infringing upon UN requlations and acted swiftly to call them out. They have retracted as a result.

May 1st interns 1st! On this year's May 1st, we're asking the @UN to STOP putting its interns last, and finally start promoting fair, quality and paid internships. As we say every year - intern rights are labour rights!

Despite most countries' support in an internship reform, after failing to reach consensus on a resolution on all human resource management for the @UN the Fifth Committee has decided to defer the agenda item to next year’s session in March 2022. For the third time in a row! 1/2

[Fair Internship NYC @FII_UNHQ]

We call on the @UN to consider allocating a unique session on this agenda item to finally reach consensus! The Internship reform should not be postponed any longer than it already has because countries can't agree on other issues! 2/2

The #PayYourInterns movement has gained momentum for years.

Geneva has been a center of these issues since 2012, when an unpaid UN Intern was reported to be sleeping in a tent near Lac Léman.

Check out the documentary “Call Me Intern” for more.

It's time for change! Today is #GlobalInternStrike2021. We call on the @UN to live up to its values & reform the unpaid internship system. Unpaid internships are unethical & discriminatory. #PayYourInterns #StrikeforOurRights @FII_UNHQ
