INCLUSION AND ACCESSIBILITY AGM ’24

IDEA AT AMNESTY

Amnesty International is committed to the IDEA principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility.

Amnesty International is Building A BIGGER, BOLDER AND MORE INCLUSIVE MOVEMENT

  • Inclusion: We support an inclusive culture where everyone belongs in the movement for human rights and feels they can be fully involved with the identities they choose to share.
  • Diversity: We work to diversify Member Leadership & develop our staff and members.
  • Equity: We work towards reducing inequalities and barriers that result from discrimination based on identity dimensions.
  • Accessibility: We will listen, understand, dismantle barriers and ensure equitable access to meet the needs of all who wish to support our movement.
