Climate Crisis
Humanity: under threat from climate change
Climate change is a human rights issue. Rising global temperatures are already impacting on people's fundamental rights to food, water, shelter, healthcare and beyond. Find out how you can help.
People on the move
Families belong together
Family separation, demonisation by the media and exploitation are some of the traumas faced by migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Help us fight for their right to safety and to make them feel welcome in their new communities.
Dissenting voices
Human rights defenders
Brave individuals standing up for the rights of others are being silenced all around the world. They face smear campaigns, imprisonment and sometimes even death for daring to speak truth to power. Learn more and take action to protect these human rights defenders.
Individuals at risk
Take action for an individual
Ordinary people around the world face prison, torture, and even death just for their beliefs, their job, who they love and even who they are. Help us fight for their freedom.
Institutional discrimination
Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories
Violence and discrimination have marked over 50 years of Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. We campaign for human rights for all in the region.
Crisis
Lebanon
Amnesty International is calling for an international independent investigation into the Beirut explosion on 4 Aug 2020 to ensure truth, justice and reparations for the victims.
Our rights at home
Human rights in the UK
From Brexit to local policing, and from the Human Rights Act to hate crimes, there are a range of human rights issues to consider within the UK. See how we're fighting for our fundamental rights here at home.
COVID-19
Coronavirus and human rights
As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, our basic human rights must be at the heart of all law changes governments put in place to protect our health and wellbeing.
Conflict and human rights
Syria
Almost a decade later, and there seems to be no end in sight of the unimaginable suffering endured by civilians caught up in the Syrian conflict. Here's what we're doing to stop Syria's suffering - and how you can join us.
LGBTI rights
LGBTI equality
Tt's a crime to be gay, lesbian or bisexual in at least 72 countries today. From the UK to Uganda, we're working to end discrimination. But we need your help.
Issue
Women's human rights
Women and girls experience violence and discrimination based on their sex and gender. When governments fail to protect them, Amnesty International is here – helping ensure that all people can live in dignity, safety, and freedom.
Issue
Stand up for children's rights
What are children’s rights?
Most children and adults do not know that children have their own unique set of rights granted to them under international law.
But every child born into this world holds a unique set of rights, no matter where they are from or what they’re background is.
Issue
Sexual and reproductive rights
Being able to make our own decisions about our health, body and sexual life is a basic human right. Yet all over the world, people are bullied, discriminated against and arrested for making choices about their bodies. Join us in defending sexual and reproductive rights for all.
Issue
Free speech
Free speech is the right to say whatever you like about whatever you like, whenever you like, right? Wrong.
Free speech is one of our most important rights and one of the most misunderstood. Use your free speech to speak out for those that are denied theirs.
Region
United States of America
Since President Trump came into office he has pushed through a series of dangerous policies that threaten the human rights of millions of people. Help us stand against any roll back of fundamental freedoms in USA and around the world.
Issue
Death penalty
Last year alone, over 607 people were executed by their government. Many more executions were carried out in secret - including unknown numbers of state-sponsored deaths in China and North Korea.
The death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights, which is why we're working for an end to its use - everywhere.
Region
North Korea
North Korea is in a category of its own when it comes to human rights violations. It is a totalitarian state where hundreds of thousands of people are enslaved and tortured.
All forms of freedom of expression are repressed and anyone attempting to assert their rights is crushed.
Issue
Business and human rights
Wherever they're based, companies should meet certain standards and respect the rights of the people who work for them. But many businesses do not. We investigate who's cutting corners at the expense of human rights. Find out who's guilty, and how you can help.
