Page Text: Our diversity is what makes us stronger, more innovative and more creative. Our wealth of backgrounds, languages, cultures, abilities and ethnicities is the driving force behind our human rights work.
DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND EQUALITY MATTERS
OUR VALUES
Human rights must be our identity, not only our demand. Amnesty International must always live the values we advocate for others. And we must do this more authentically and visibly, as a resolutely anti-racist and anti-sexist organisation.
Racism and sexism present a clear and present threat to our human rights mandate: to our staff, to our members and to our ability to carry out our work. Whilst there are no easy fixes, we must create and sustain appreciative, and empowering working environments across our movement, in which everyone is able to thrive and feels valued and respected. We must be rights, to do rights better.
