Aims and Objectives:

1. Raise awareness of the work of Amnesty International on campus as the world's largest grassroots human rights organisation.

2. Aid students in joining the global movement of over seven million people that campaign for everyone to be equal in dignity and human rights - on campus, in Exeter, and across the world - and to make sure that all that act under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are held accountable.

3. Be an inclusive and fun society by connecting like-minded students and creating a sense of community.

Who we are, and what we do

Amnesty International is the world's largest grassroots human rights movement that connects people from across the world to campaign for human rights. Our purpose is to speak out against those that deny others the right to justice, freedom and dignity, and to protect the human in all that we do. At Exeter University, you can join Amnesty International Society and become a part of this global movement, locally.

As a society at Exeter University and a part of Amnesty International UK, we want to have a positive impact in campaigning for human rights locally, nationally and across the world. We run weekly meetings, human rights campaigns, Write for Rights, collaborations with different societies, events, and socials.
