Amnesty Feminist Network Committee - Events Officer

About Us:

Amnesty Feminists is a volunteer-led network within Amnesty International UK dedicated to defending the human rights of women and girls through activism, advocacy, and awareness. We are explicitly intersectional, trans-inclusive, and sex-worker inclusive, challenging systems of patriarchy, racism, colonialism, capitalism, and ableism.

Join our volunteer activist community and help drive meaningful change. As a committee member, you'll work alongside passionate activists in a collaborative, non-hierarchical movement where your contributions and ideas directly impact our campaigns and collective action.
