About our partner

Amnesty International works independently and impartially to promote respect for all the human rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It concentrates on ending abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination.

Amnesty is based on the belief that individuals working together in international solidarity can bring about real change.

Amnesty’s members and supporters exert influence on governments, political bodies, companies and intergovernmental groups.

Activists take up human rights issues by mobilizing public pressure through mass demonstrations, vigils and direct lobbying as well as online and offline campaigning.

Amnesty International UK Campaigns

Demand Dignity

840 million people are chronically malnourished.
100 million have no access to education.
Every year 11 million children die before the age of five.
This suffering should be no more inevitable than torture, false imprisonment or censorship.
The Demand Dignity Campaign is about ending the human rights abuses that keep people poor.

Stop Violence Against Women

Two of the most dangerous environments for women globally are the family and conflict/post conflict situations.
The Stop Violence Against Women campaign focuses on ending violence against women in these situations. Our ultimate goal is basic human rights for women and girls everywhere.
