Agenda is a feminist media project based in Durban that is committed to
giving women a forum, a voice and skills to articulate their needs and
interests towards transforming unequal gender relations. Through our work, we aim to question and challenge current understandings and practices of gender relations. In particular, we contribute to the development of women and their capacity to organise themselves, reflect on their experiences and write about this. In order to meet our vision, we offer an annual internship programme with the aim of contributing towards a pool of gender-sensitive and gender-aware writers, who will practice the skills acquired at Agenda in the mainstream media and other environments. One candidate per year is selected. We therefore invite applications from interested parties. We particularly encourage applications from black women candidates.
