Amnesty international is a global movement of more than 3 million supporters, members and
activists in more than 150 countries and territories who campaign to end grave abuses of
human rights.
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.
