Amnesty International: A Global Movement for Human Rights

Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people in over 150 countries who campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. Since 1961, we've been helping people claim their rights across the world.

Who We Are

Amnesty International is a non-governmental organization that works to protect and promote human rights worldwide. We believe that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and we campaign to end abuses of human rights.

What We Do

Amnesty International works on a wide range of human rights issues, including armed conflict, climate change, death penalty, and many others. We also provide support to human rights defenders and activists who are working to promote human rights in their own countries.
