Amnesty International Network Utrecht (AINU) is a group of like-minded people that aim to locally contribute to global action combating human rights violations in line with the campaigns of Amnesty International in the Netherlands.
We are part of Amnesty International: A worldwide human rights movement with more than 7 million people involved. Amnesty International’s vision is of 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. In pursuit of this vision, Amnesty International’s mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of these rights.
AINU aspires to be thé independent, recognized Amnesty Network in Utrecht, where everyone can contribute to a just and peaceful world through learning about and contributing to combating human rights violations.
We organise events, facilitate opportunities to learn and we have fun while doing so. We invest in the power of a (local) movement, develop the leadership of our members, and build a sustainable network together with you!
We continuously aspire to be as inclusive as we can. Inclusive means that everyone feels involved and valued, not in spite, but thanks to their differences. We are aware that being inclusive is an ongoing process, therefore, we highly encourage you to approach us if you think we could improve at any point.
