Amnesty International
Amnesty International Society at Imperial College works in collaboration with Amnesty International UK, based in London, to campaign for the promotion of human rights. The society at Imperial publicises current AIUK campaigns on campus with talks, fliers, stalls and attending peaceful demonstrations in the hope of raising awareness of human rights violations around the world and at home.
Current campaigns include ‘Control for Arms’, ‘Protect the Human’ and ‘Stop Violence Against Women’. For the ‘Control for Arms’ campaign this year, AISoc collected about 200 pictures as a form of petition on behalf of AIUK as a part of their wider campaign. The pictures, along with those of thousands of others from people around the world were presented to the UN during June. As a break from the usual serious business, members enjoy Christmas and Easter socials. On the whole, the direction the club takes is largely up to the members. New ideas are always welcome.
