What does Amnesty International do?

When human rights are denied, we won’t be silent

Through our detailed research and determined campaigning, we help fight abuses of human rights worldwide. We bring torturers to justice. Change oppressive laws. And free people jailed just for voicing their opinion.

How we protect human rights

Rights belong to every one of us but they are abused or denied around the world, every single day. When this happens, we search out the facts, expose what’s happening and rally people together to pressure governments and others to respect human rights.

Acknowledgement of Country

First Nations peoples are the continuing custodians of the lands, waters and skies of this continent, of which sovereignty was never ceded.

We recognise the strength and intergenerational resilience of Elders, and honour the culture and wisdom that they have passed on to future generations.

We continue to fight for Indigenous Rights and stand in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonisation and human rights abuses which disproportionately impact on First Nations peoples.

Always was, always will be.
