Scottish Woman’s Rights Centre Volunteer and Intern

Our Rights Stories

Every year the Scottish Women’s Rights Centre (SWRC) welcomes students from the University of Strathclyde Law Clinic as interns.
All of them work alongside our legal team, they improve their knowledge of the wider organisation by taking part in weekly meetings, events and activities and they gain new experience into the legal sector.

Maya joined the SWRC on a placement over the summer and she is still a volunteer at our Scottish Women’s Rights Centre.
In this episode, we talk about her experience as intern first and as a volunteer after, her hopes and dreams for the future and the impact this opportunity is having on her studies and careers.

Our Scottish Women's Rights Centre is a unique collaborative project between us, Rape Crisis Scotland and University of Strathclyde Law Clinic.

They provide free legal information, advice, representation and advocacy support to self-identifying women in Scotland affected by violence and abuse.

The SWRC’s services include legal and advocacy helplines, legal advice surgeries, advocacy support and legal representation. The team also produces accessible information regarding women’s rights and guides on women’s rights.
