Protect the Human is the current campaign from Amnesty, which readers may wish to support by buying a badge. The campaign itself culminates with Protect the Human week from 14th to 20th October.

Human rights are one of the most important things to stand up for, and supporting Amnesty helps in a small, but significant way. I’m proud to have been a member of Amnesty for the last five years, and hope that if you agree with the following, you might consider joining too.

We’re Amnesty International - a movement of ordinary people from around the world standing up for humanity and human rights. We believe people should be treated like people. It’s amazing how often they aren’t.

Women are raped as a weapon of war. People are victimised by their own governments. Innocent citizens are locked up for their beliefs. We want to do something about it by getting one million people standing up for humanity.

You can be one of them.
