Amnesty International - University at Buffalo

As a club organization at the University at Buffalo, we as students strive to protect, promote, and raise awareness of human rights.

"It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness." - Chinese proverb

Amnesty International is a global movement of people fighting injustice and promoting human rights. Amnesty International works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. Currently, as the world’s largest grassroots human rights organization, we investigate and expose abuses, educate and mobilize the public, and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world.
