Welcome to the University Voices for issues concerning Amnesty International around the world.
We aim to inform, educate, and broadcast as much news as possible surrounding humanitarian issues that affect the world.
Amnesty International is a movement of ordinary people standing up for humanity and human rights worldwide. Our purpose is to promote human rights wherever justice, fairness, freedom, and truth are denied.
AI is a democratic, self-governing movement. An International Council takes major policy decisions made up of representatives from all national sections.
We have added below one of the latest videos from the BBC on the refugee crisis for our readers to view.
AI’s national sections and local volunteer groups are primarily responsible for funding the movement. Government funds are not sought or accepted for AI’s work investigating and campaigning against human rights violations.
Our staff members’ main agenda for 2025 is to highlight the need for help, support, and love for our fellow humans, the Refugees of the world.
We oppose The return of refugees to countries where they may be at risk of serious violations and abuses. Arms and security transfers (including weapons and training) to countries where these can reasonably be assumed to contribute to human rights abuses. The manufacture, use or transfer of indiscriminate weapons of warfare, particularly anti-personnel landmines.
Who we are and what we represent
University Amnesty International refers to university-level chapters or student groups affiliated with the larger organization Amnesty International. Amnesty International is a global human rights organization that promotes and protects human rights worldwide. It focuses on issues such as freedom of speech, freedom from torture, the right to a fair trial, and the abolition of the death penalty.
University Amnesty International groups are typically composed of students and faculty members passionate about human rights issues. These groups work on various campaigns, raise awareness about human rights abuses, and engage in advocacy and activism on their campuses and communities. They often organize events, protests, educational workshops, and fundraising efforts to support the work of Amnesty International and to raise awareness about specific human rights violations and injustices.
These university-level chapters are important to Amnesty International’s grassroots network and contribute to the organization’s broader mission of defending and promoting human rights worldwide. They provide an avenue for students and academics to get involved in human rights activism and positively impact the world.
We are proud to be one of these network groups promoting human rights worldwide.
