Amnesty International - Valparaiso Chapter

Amnesty International - Valparaiso Chapter We, as members of the Valparaiso University community, are committed to standing up for human rights.

Although we believe in raising awareness, we are also committed to advocacy and action. Internationally, we are people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. Our purpose is to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. With more than 3 million supporters, activists and volunteers in over 150 countries, and complete independence from government

, corporate or national interests, we work to protect human rights worldwide. Our vision is of a world in which every person - regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity - enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards.

Women – regardless of where they live, who they are, or where they come from – have the right to live free from intimidation and violence. Congress finally woke up and heard that message today, overcoming the objections of lawmakers who fought against protections for Native American and Alaska Native women, immigrant women, and members of the le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender community and passed an inclusive and bipartisan Violence Against Women Act.

Please support Tibetan people and their rights.

Days ago, Palden walked outside her nunnery, covered herself in petrol and set herself on fire in to protest the growing Chinese crackdown in Tibet. Let's respond to her desperate cry for help and build a massive petition to key leaders for urgent diplomatic action.

I Came to Testify

Tuesday, November 8 at 5:30pm in Ulbricht

Amnesty International, International Law Society, and Women Law Student Association are pleased to invite you to a screening of I Came to Testify. A film in the groundbreaking special series, Women, War, and Peace, which is
the most comprehensive global media initiative ever mounted on the roles of women in peace and conflict.
I Came to Testify is the moving story of how a group of 16 women who had been imprisoned by Serb-led forces in the Bosnian town of Foca broke history’s great silence – and stepped forward to take the witness stand in an international court of law.

Pizza and soda will be provided.
