Amnesty International (AI)
Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people
who campaign for internationally recognized human rights.
AI's vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all
of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights. AI undertakes research and action focused
on preventing and ending grave abuses of human rights. At
the latest count there were more than 1.5 million members,
supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries of the world.
On International Women's Day, 8 March 2004 , Amnesty International
will launch a global campaign to eradicate violence against
women. Today Amnesty International reiterates its calls upon
all governments to respect women's rights themselves, protect
women's rights from being violated by private citizens, particularly
domestic abuse, and ensure that women can enjoy their human
rights. For more information on the global campaign to eradicate
violence against women contact the international secretariat
