International Center for Research on Women

Duration: Fall 2014 (September-December)
Vacancy: 1
[Additional opportunities available beginning in January.]
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) works to make women in developing countries an integral part of alleviating global poverty. Our research evidence identifies women’s contributions as well as the obstacles that prevent them from being economically strong and able to fully participate in society. ICRW translates these insights into a path of action that honors women’s human rights, ensures gender equality and creates the conditions in which all women can thrive.
Scope of Practicum:
ICRW has recently concluded a project on gathering quantitative and qualitative data on school related gender based violence (SRGBV) from five countries in Asia, for which preliminary analysis has been done. This project is titled- PEAS- Promoting Equality and Safety in Schools. We are working towards developing research/policy brief and write journal article. Within this, the student would be expected to:
• Prepare drafting research/policy brief from the existing report.
• Undertake additional multivariate quantitative analysis of the existing data to Review literature for the article
Preferred Skills:
An understanding and interest on the issue of gender and gender-based violence; and skill sets for undertaking a literature review, quantitative data analysis and writing.
*Student is financially responsible for travel, housing, and living expenses.
