Cases
At the heart of all Amnesty International's work is the individual. We work with, for and on behalf of people at risk of human rights abuses, survivors, and other partners in the defense of rights. The global connection between individuals is a motivating force behind all Amnesty International campaigns.
When Amnesty International takes up campaigning for individuals at risk, it becomes known as an Amnesty International case. A case may be an individual person, a group of people or a community of people.
Amnesty International takes up hundreds of cases on behalf of those whose rights have been abused and to compel unflinching governments to address long-standing violations. Working with, and for, individuals at risk of human rights violations has been at the heart of Amnesty International's work since our founding.
Amnesty International has never been able to take up all the cases that come to our attention. We take up cases which are for example particularly grave, which are emblematic of a problem we are trying to address, where success in one case will have resonance for many others and where we think we can make a difference. Elsewhere we try to offer advice and help others at risk get the support they need.
Amnesty is engaged in ongoing campaigning for hundreds of people right now, demanding an end to the human rights abuses they face. We need your help.
