Justice, inclusion, and anti-discrimination are at the core of our identity as an organization and shape our commitment to people and their struggles for justice. Amnesty International in Germany aims to become an organization that reflects the perspectives and lived realities of our society — for this, we are continuously working on fostering a culture that critically addresses discrimination within the organization.
We welcome applications from people regardless of their national or social origin, religion or belief, gender identity and sexual orientation, disability, or age. We especially encourage applications from individuals with experiences of social marginalization, including people who have experienced racism such as Black people, People of Color, Sinti and Romani people, and/or applicants with a migration or refugee background, as well as trans* or intersex individuals, people from non-academic backgrounds, and people with disabilities. We are particularly committed to giving preference to severely disabled applicants if they are equally qualified.
In many countries, people who stand up for their human rights are at risk. Time and again, we witness governments and political groups severely restricting human rights. Those particularly at risk are individuals who advocate for their rights, such as lawyers, media professionals, environmental activists, and other critical voices.
Amnesty International is the world’s largest movement dedicated to the defense of human rights. Amnesty is independent of governments, political parties, ideologies, economic interests, and religions. To ensure this independence, we fund our human rights work solely through donations and membership fees. Our campaigns and actions are based on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Amnesty International has more than ten million supporters worldwide and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.
