Know your rights kids!

Learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) - the internationally recognised foundation document for human rights. It outlines 30 human rights principles that everyone should aspire to follow. Amnesty's vision is a world where everybody enjoys all of the human rights that are part of the UDHR.

Stop Violence Against Women

St Cuthbert's Amnesty group, Auckland , collected more than 500 signatures on our Pacific petiton - and this fantastic powerpoint helped to spread the message.  Created by group co-ordinator,  Jade Fai Leung - it was used within classrooms to advertise why every signature counts in an inventive and fun way.  Jade says, "It would be an absolute pleasure to have it used as a resource."
