Amnesty International South Africa

Amnesty International South Africa (AISA) is a national human rights entity that is part of a global human rights movement, established to address national human rights priorities as well as create the possibility for people in South Africa to join Amnesty International’s global human rights campaigns. Our mission in South Africa is to address pertinent national human rights issues through research and campaigning, and to empower people in South Africa to take action on issues that matter to them and to leverage South Africa’s influence regionally and globally to promote human rights domestically, bilaterally and internationally.

We campaign for meaningful human rights change; enable effective human rights activism and work to persuade governments and other actors to uphold universal rights standards.
