Amnesty International at the George Washington University

Amnesty International at the George Washington University A student-led chapter of Amnesty International at the George Washington University. We advocate for human rights and dignity for all.

Amnesty International at the George Washington University is a student-led chapter of Amnesty International working to educate the GW community about human rights violations around the world, and to take action to prevent and end them. We do this by not only bringing in human rights activists, professionals, and academic figures to campus to speak to students and engage them on critical human righ

ts issues, but also through actions such as letter writing, protesting, lobbying, and launching university-wide campaigns. As both students and activists, our goal is to foster a community of dynamic activism and create a conversation on campus about human rights in the world today, and how we, as students, may help create a better tomorrow. We advocate for human rights for all and the protection of justice, freedom, truth, and dignity around the world. Join us: we hold meetings every other Tuesday at 8 PM in the Marvin Center (room 413). To receive updates about our meetings and events/information on human rights issues, send your name and e-mail address to [email protected].

Hello everyone! In our increasingly digitalized age, targeted harassment of women on social media platforms has become more and more common. Unfortunately, many of these websites/apps have not taken adequate action to prevent the spread of hateful and violent posts. In order to foster a safer social media environment, Amnesty International has launched the Troll Patrol Program.

With the help of thousands of online volunteers, Amnesty International will track, analyze, and report instances of hate speech directed towards women on Twitter. If you would like to get involved with this program, please click this link and follow the simple, on-screen instructions.

We thank you for your time, effort, and dedication to creating a more positive social media experience for women!

Help Amnesty researchers analyse hundreds of thousands of tweets to track abuse against women online. It takes just a few minutes to sign up, and as little as 30 seconds to start detecting online abuse. Decoders is people power at its best – sign up now.
