About Amnesty International

We are a global movement of ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. We work to protect men, women and children wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. We investigate and expose human rights abuses, educate and mobilise the public and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world.
