| We have two main ways of working to achieve human rights for everyone:
Promoting general awareness of human rights; and
Opposing specific abuses of human rights
During much of our history, our campaigning has focused on prisoners, but we have responded to the changing patterns of human rights violations in the world. Today, the biggest threat to human rights in the world are mass violations in armed conflicts. People are now more likely to become victims of abuse because of who they are, rather than for what they think, say or do.
Amnesty International carries out a wide range of educational activities about human rights, promoting the values contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and other international agreed human rights standards.
Meeting times and places:
We meet once a month in the homes of different group members. We usually meet at 8pm on the 4th Tuesday of the month.
