Amnesty International Ghana is part of a global movement of over 10 million people standing up for human rights. We are a registered organisation in Ghana with Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) status, working to protect and promote the rights of everyone in Ghana, without discrimination. Our work is grounded in research, advocacy, and campaigning to hold governments and institutions accountable, challenge injustice, and bring about lasting change.
We focus on issues such as freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, gender equality, the abolition of the death penalty, ending torture and other ill-treatment, and protecting marginalized groups, including women, children, and people accused of witchcraft. We campaign against human rights abuses, engage communities, and build partnerships with civil society, government, and international bodies to strengthen human rights protections in Ghana.
Through public education, capacity building, research, and grassroots activism, Amnesty International Ghana empowers people to know, claim, and defend their rights. Together, we amplify the voices of the vulnerable and create a society where justice, equality, and human dignity are upheld.
Our work is based on the Global Priority Areas of the Amnesty International.
