Amnesty is a movement of ordinary people from around the world standing up for humanity and human rights.

And we're a movement that produces extraordinary results. Prisoners of conscience are released. Death sentences are commuted. Torturers are brought to justice. Governments are persuaded to change their laws and practices.

Amnesty carries out a wide range of educational activities about human rights, promoting the values contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They encourage people to accept that encouraging governments to accept and enforce international standards of human rights must protect all human rights. Encouraging governments, political organisations, businesses, other groups and individuals to support and respect human rights and opposing specific abuses of human rights.

Our achievements have a huge impact on the lives of individual people. And your support makes us even stronger.
