About Us:

Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they're denied.

Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries.

One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
