Our Cause
Our vision is of a world in which every person – regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity – enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and other internationally recognized human rights standards.
Our Impact
- Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people in over 150 countries and territories who campaign to end abuses of human rights.
- We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. Amnesty has the freedom and independence to fight for people’s human rights anywhere in the world because funding for our research
and campaigns comes entirely from committed activists. - Amnesty Evolves. Amnesty has grown from seeking the release of political prisoners to upholding the whole spectrum of human rights. Our work protects and empowers people – from abolishing the death penalty to protecting sexual and reproductive rights, and from combatting discrimination to defending refugees and migrants’ rights. We speak out for anyone and everyone whose freedom and dignity are under threat.
