The United Nations Foundation’s Universal Access Project today announced a press fellowship focused on sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice to Women Deliver 2023, the world’s largest conference on gender equality and the health, rights, and well-being of girls and women. The conference will take place July 17–20 in Kigali, Rwanda.

The Women Deliver 2023 conference comes at a critical time when sexual and reproductive health and rights are under threat in the U.S. and abroad. The location in Rwanda, which has made strides in expanding reproductive health access, offers an opportunity to explore country-level progress and challenges in making sexual and reproductive health and rights a reality for all.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

1. This fellowship is intended for journalists who work for U.S. media outlets.
2. Applicants must be interested in global sexual and reproductive health and rights issues, international development, U.S. foreign policy, and the United Nations. 

BENEFITS

The fellowship will cover travel, food and lodging costs for the duration of the conference and any site visits beforehand, to be determined. COVID-19 vaccination and compliance with all current U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rwanda Ministry of Public Health, and Women Deliver 2023 safety guidelines are required for participation.
