Speak out for human rights
Open a newspaper, turn on a television or radio and you are immediately struck by the cruelty that touches every corner of the world. In some countries groups of terrified women, men and children are targeted in armed conflicts. In others courageous individuals languish in jail for expressing their views.
Whoever you are, there is something you can do to prevent these gross violations of human rights from continuing.
Speak out for human rights. Demand that these violations stop. Make your voice heard by joining Amnesty International's network of more than a million activists around the globe.
