Independent · never alone
No right can be
defended alone.
Amnesty International is independent from governments, parties, economic interests and religions. But independence is not isolation: in Lazio we build alliances with those who share the values of human rights — and multiply the impact of every action.
16 structures · 5 provinces · part of a global movement
Six levels of alliance
Each type of partner answers a different question: how to multiply the impact on rights in Lazio.
Civil society
Associations, NGOs and movements that share our objectives on migration, the death penalty, freedom of expression and climate justice. Joint campaigns, never mutual delegation.
Schools and universities
Educational pathways, work-experience programmes, seminars and research projects with schools and universities across Lazio. The places where rights are learned and put into practice.
Local authorities
Municipalities, City Districts, the Lazio Region: collaborations on awareness-raising, international Days and policies to protect rights across the territory.
The cultural world
Festivals, theatres, cinema, music, visual arts: the languages that reach those a political campaign never touches. Rights told through beauty.
Other Amnesty structures
Thematic Coordinations (Migrants, Death Penalty, LGBTQIA+, Gender Justice) and regional chapters: the internal network that connects cross-cutting expertise.
Go to the Coordinations →International networks
Amnesty is a global movement of over 10 million supporters. International campaigns land here; the demands of Lazio reach London and the UN.
The global movement →Three principles, non-negotiable
Clear rules on how Amnesty decides who to work with — and who not to.
Total independence
No funding from governments or political parties for research and advocacy. Corporate donations and major gifts go through national ethical screening. This is where the credibility of our reports comes from.
Shared values
We work with those who share universal and indivisible human rights. Not with those who pick some and trample on others for convenience.
Local roots
Local partners know communities, stories and needs better than we do. We bring methodological rigour and a global network: it is an exchange, not a delegation.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
Amnesty as a global network
Four dates that tell how a single letter became a movement of 10 million people.
"The Forgotten Prisoners"
Peter Benenson publishes in the Observer the appeal that gives rise to the movement: an international network for prisoners of conscience.
Nobel Peace Prize
The Oslo Academy awards Amnesty International the Nobel Peace Prize "for having contributed to securing the ground for freedom, for justice, and thereby also for peace in the world".
UN Human Rights Prize
The United Nations grants Amnesty the Human Rights Prize: after 17 years the network not only exists, but is a recognised interlocutor of the multilateral system.
16 structures in Lazio, 10 million worldwide
Groups active across 5 provinces (Rome, Viterbo, Rieti, Latina, Frosinone). Each group is a node of the global network — local in its actions, international in its demands.
A widespread network
across five provinces
We are among the most widespread chapters in Italy. Our groups coordinate with each other and with local organisations to run events, campaigns and joint actions. The thematic Coordinations — Migrants, Death Penalty, LGBTQIA+, Gender Justice — connect activists on specific areas, building cross-cutting expertise.

Association, school, institution, festival, collective: if we share the values, we build together.
