Amnesty International (AI) is a global movement of 7 million people in more than 190 countries who campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. We have:
- more than 2 million members and supporters who drive forward our fight for rights
- more than 5 million activists who stengthen our calls for justice
Our vision is for every person to enjoy all the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. We are independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion and are funded mainly by our membership and public donations.
