Catalyst for Change Fellowship Programme (India)

About

Imagine being at the forefront of human rights advocacy, shaping the future of legal protections for the most vulnerable populations in South Asia. The Catalyst for Change (CFC) Fellowship Programme, hosted by the Migration and Asylum Project (M.A.P), is a prestigious 24-month professional journey designed for dedicated graduates who are ready to transform their passion for justice into real-world impact. This isn't just a fellowship; it's a deep dive into the complex world of legal aid, where you will work on the ground to support displaced communities and migrant populations across India.

As a CFC Fellow, you will become a vital bridge between the law and those who need its protection most. You will engage in rigorous field-based work, develop innovative advocacy strategies, and provide direct legal assistance to survivors of conflict and forced migration. This program is uniquely tailored for individuals who are not afraid to tackle systemic challenges and are eager to gain high-level professional legal skills while making a tangible difference in the lives of marginalized individuals. Joining this fellowship means becoming part of a community of change-makers committed to building a more inclusive and equitable society.
