The Internship Programme at INSTRAW is designed to acquaint students or recent graduates with gender issues and the work of INSTRAW and of the United Nations in general. Students spend anywhere from two to six months (or longer) at the Institute's headquarters in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Under the Institute's ICT-driven methodology, interns assist in a variety of tasks i.e., Internet searches, database development, preparation of abstracts of books and articles, organization of chats and discussion forums, corresponding with focal points and other networks, etc.
The Internship Programme does not offer stipends or other financial support. Interns must cover their own travel and living expenses. Medical insurance coverage is required.

Interns normally rent a room in a house with access to kitchen and living areas. Lodgings are the responsibility of the individual interns, though INSTRAW can assist with available information and references.

The cost of renting a room in a house ranges from US$250 to $400 per month. The cost of food depends on eating preferences and can range between US$300 - US$500 per month. Public transportation is available, as are taxis, which can require up to US$2.00 per ride within the city. Bus transportation is available for travel to other cities within the country.
