Interact Worldwide
Interact Worldwide works on issues of sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS in solidarity with indigenous partner organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We take a rights based approach, which is a framework that allows poor and marginalised people to demand as a 'right' the basic conditions that allow them to live in dignity. Our work focuses specifically on the most marginalised communities and individuals; those who most commonly experience abuse or denial of rights.
Main Activity
Interact Worldwide and partners are engaged in service provision, education work and advocacy at a local, national and international level, as appropriate in each situation. Groups we commonly work with include those living with HIV, rural women, adolescents, refugees, men who have sex with men, and intravenous drug users. All these marginalised groups face discrimination and lack of access to services and support. They are consequently particularly vulnerable to sexual and reproductive ill health, which could include maternal mortality or morbidity, HIV, gender-based violence or other sexual ill-health.
Description
Fundraising volunteers will get the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of working in an NGO environment. Projects will range from web-based research, events and general admin to potentially developing and running specific projects. As part of a small team, volunteers get involved in various aspects of our work and are an important part of our day-to-day activities.
