About

Amnesty International Australia is the Australian chapter of the global human rights movement, dedicated to campaigning and advocacy for human rights. They conduct independent research, educate the public, and mobilize supporters to protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom, and truth are denied. They primarily fund their own programs and initiatives through donations, rather than operating as a traditional grant-making foundation to external organisations.

Giving Philosophy

Amnesty International Australia's approach to achieving impact is rooted in the belief that human rights are universal and indivisible. They strive for change through robust independent research, grassroots activism, public education, and direct advocacy with governments and international bodies, aiming to hold power accountable and empower individuals to claim their rights. Their mission is to expose human rights abuses and campaign for justice.
