Amnesty Arts Fund

Arts and artists have a unique power to bring people together and inspire positive action. Amnesty Arts Fund recognises that power and uses it to call for change.
                                                     - Annie Lennox, founding member of the Amnesty Arts Fund

In a world where torture is acceptable in the 'war on terror'; refugees are often treated as criminals; women are abused in every society; and individuals are persecuted for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression - telling the real stories behind these issues is vital.  

Through film, comedy and literature, music and theatre, the Amnesty Arts Fund aims to put these issues at the heart of public consciousness.
