EU Advocacy Intern

Overview
5Rights Foundation is a globally active NGO working to build the digital world children and young people deserve. We are looking for an outstanding young professional to join our small and high-impact EU team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and ambitious graduate to learn the ropes of advocacy while and play a concrete role in driving global social change.


About 5Rights

5Rights Foundation exists to ensure a digital world that will serve children and young people today and for future generations.

We are a dynamic team of senior professionals and experts delivering change in how the digital world works. We have shifted the narrative and the agenda through provocative comms campaigns (e.g. Twisted Toys), pioneering research (e.g. Pathways) and award-winning tools (e.g. Child Online Safety Toolkit). We continue to drive real-life change thanks to an outstanding track-record of delivering legislation (e.g. Californian Age Appropriate Design Code), policy and regulatory frameworks (e.g. UNCRC General comment No. 25), and industry standards (e.g. IEEE 2089).

The Role

5Rights Foundation in 2021 set up an office in Brussels to advocate and influence for change through EU policy and legislation to protect children's safety and rights online.

Since then, we have had substantial success in driving our agenda at the EU-level, not least with the strong provisions for children in the DSA.

Our current work priorities include DSA implementation, the AI Act and the review of EU consumer protection law.
