UCLA Law and Sonke Gender Justice Network Launch Health and Human Rights Fellowship

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law in the U.S. and Sonke Gender Justice Network announce the launch of the UCLA Law - Sonke Health & Human Rights Fellowship.

Commencing in August 2011, the program is designed to provide specialized training to top graduates from South African law schools for careers as impact-oriented public interest lawyers in the areas of health, human rights, HIV prevention, and gender equality.

The fellowship offers a full-tuition grant to enroll in UCLA Law’s Master of Laws (LL.M.) program, assists fellows in securing living and travel expenses for their studies, and offers the opportunity to apply for a one-year fellowship placement with Sonke in Cape Town or Johannesburg.
