Interning with CEDEAL

January 24, 2023by: Caroline Meehan - United StatesProgram: Law and Human Rights Internships in Quito, Ecuador
10

The company that I interned with in Ecuador was dedicated to the democratization of society through increased awareness of individual rights and services that exist to overcome gender-based and ethnic inequalities. As an intern I was responsible for assisting with organizing events, editing and designing infographs and translating documents. Due to my interest in the field of politics and human rights I was intrigued to understand the socio-political issues in Ecuador and how they compare to the United States. As such I was very grateful to have this direct and meaningful experience within Ecuador itself. The people that I worked with at CEDEAL were extremely welcoming and went so far as to include me in weekly office meetings. Due to this welcoming environment I felt comfortable engaging with colleagues, asking questions and taking initiative to offer my services in the ways that I thought would be most beneficial to the company.
