Mission statement

We envision a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments.


<h3>Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million supporters, members and volunteers in over 150 countries who take injustice personally. We are campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. We undertake research, change laws, educate individuals and communities, and work for justice for those whose rights have been abused. </h3><h4>We are independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion, and are funded mainly by our membership and public donations.</h4><h3>The story of Amnesty International Philippines (AIPh) began over 30 years ago. </h3><h4>Over the years, we campaigned for freedom of expression and free speech, worked against the death penalty and torture; called for justice for the victims of martial law and the protection of migrant workers; lobbied for the arms trade treaty, reproductive health bill, and indigenous peoples rights; and we mobilized against  discrimination, extrajudicial executions, state  repression, and  violence against women. </h4><h4>AIPh is present across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao through school-based and community-based groups.</h4>
