Gallatin Global Fellowship in Human Rights Symposium 2023: Erin Worden, Ipas

Erin Worden is an MPA candidate at NYU’s Wagner School of Public Service. After graduating from Denison University in 2017, Erin held a year-long fellowship in Morocco at the Hillary Clinton Center for Women’s Empowerment, the foremost English language research center on contemporary gender and women's rights issues in North Africa. After returning to the U.S., Erin served as a Program and Grants Manager at Women’s Refugee Commission, working to advance sexual and reproductive health for survivors of displacement in emergency settings. An advocate of reproductive justice, Erin is also a community trained, full-spectrum doula. This summer, Erin will partner with Ipas, an international NGO dedicated to advancing reproductive justice through expanding abortion and contraception access and availability. She will support ongoing research exploring the potential of self-managed abortion (also known as medication abortion) in refugee settings, deepening her experience with decentralized, anti-racist, and dignified humanitarian programming.
The Gallatin Global Fellowship in Human Rights is a year-long program that supports selected NYU students with funding to focus on these issues while working with human rights organizations. Fellows pursue extended projects and internships (including research and report writing) for the host organization during the summer. The fellowship aims to allow students to contribute to the host organizations’ work while gaining experience in the human rights field in ways that complement their academic trajectory at NYU.
