Our group works on the following campaigns:
1. Stop the Death Penalty
2. Stop Torture (emphasis on EurAsia)
3. Stop Violence Against Women
We also work with the Women's Human Rights Action Network and Prisoner's of Conscience.
"Think Globally & Act Locally" If you have concerns about human rights abuses being perpetuated around the world, we do too. Come, join our community and participate towards making a difference.
This group is used to post announcements of monthly meetings, agendas, meeting notes, events, and requests for volunteers.
