Question by batter101: What type of degree or education is needed to work for a humanitarian org. or group abroad?
I’ve always been interested in working for a charity or humantarian group overseas. Violence Against women especillay interests me. I’ve always wanted to educate women abroad or perhaps try to implament changes in attitudes of different societies about women (I’m well aware this is a long shot in some countries, but you get the type of work I’m interested in). Does anyone have any personal experiances, or know what I should do, perhaps what orgs. are good to shoot for? Thank you!
