Pros

Great exposure to new ideas, people, and child protection issues from both field visits and headquarter involvement gives you a chance to see how human rights operates on the ground.

Cons

It is incredibly bureaucratic and often does not value national staff for their expertise, even if staff are as qualified, or even more qualified, than international candidates.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
