Apply for the 2011 Oak Fellowship: Poverty and Human Rights

The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at
Colby College has announced a call for applications for the 2011 Oak
Fellowship. They seek one front-line human rights activist working
outside of the US who works on problems created by or associated with
poverty. The 2011 Oak Fellow will work to promote human rights
threatened by poverty. Such rights include but are not limited to: the
right to work in safe conditions and earn an adequate and stable
income; access to basic food and shelter; freedom from forced
evictions; access to adequate health care and medical attention;
access to basic services and infrastructure; the right to a healthy
and safe living environment, including access to clean drinking water;
access to education; freedom from discrimination based on class or
income.

The 2011 fellowship will offer a semester in residence at Colby
College in the US, giving respite from front-line human rights work, a
$32,000 stipend, plus medical insurance, transportation, housing and
utilities.

Application Deadline: December 15, 2010
