2011 Oak Human Rights Fellowship Accepting Applications

The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at
Colby College in Maine, U.S. is pleased to announce a call for
applications for the 2011 Oak Fellowship. They seek one front-line
human rights activist working outside of the U.S. who works on
problems created by or associated with poverty. Such work might
include but is 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,
giving respite from front-line human rights work, a $32,000 stipend,
plus medical insurance, transportation, housing and utilities.

Application deadline: December 15, 2010. The fellowship will
begin in August, 2011.
