December is
a month about giving and receiving but most important giving.
This is
just a quick post about Amnesty International.
Amnesty International is a global
movement of more than 7 million people who campaign for a world where human
rights are enjoyed by all. We reach almost every country in the
world and have:
- more than 2 million members and
supporters who drive forward our fight for rights
- more than 5 million activists who
strengthen 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.
After more than 50 years of
groundbreaking achievements, Amnesty International is now embarking on a major
process of evolution, to adapt to the dramatic changes in the world we operate
in, and to increase the impact of our human rights work.
We are introducing a new, global
way of working – with a distributed centre and Regional Hubs of research,
campaigns and communications – because we owe it to the people we work for to
be the most effective force for freedom and justice that we can, globally.
As we develop this process –
in line with the long-held desire of our international membership – we will
post regular blogs, articles, stories and personal accounts to explain what is
happening, and why it is important to those on the human rights front
line.
Come with us on our journey by
reading our blogs here , and then help us make a real difference to people's
lives by becoming a member or supporter of
Amnesty International.
In school we had a project
where we wrote letters to prisoners of conscience. We spent half an hour
writing and making a letter which can make a day to one person more than we
expect.
Everything about organization you can find there.
Happy December to everyone!
