Amnesty International members meet to exchange ideas on action on Monday, September 14th, at 7 p.m.

Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights to be respected and protected for everyone. They believe human rights abuses anywhere are the concern of people everywhere.

 

So, outraged by human rights abuses but inspired by hope for a better world, they work to improve people’s lives through campaigning and international solidarity.

Their mission is to conduct research and generate action to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated.

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.
