Throughout your life, you’ve stood for fairness, freedom and justice. By including a gift to Amnesty International in your Will, you can carry those values forward — protecting human rights for generations to come.
YOUR VALUES. YOUR VOICE. YOUR LEGACY.
A gift in your Will is one of the most powerful things you can do for human rights. It costs nothing today, and it ensures the fight continues long after any one campaign or generation.
YOUR WILL. YOUR FINAL ACT OF RESISTANCE.
Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand doesn’t take government funding for our human rights work. We rely entirely on people like you.
A gift in your Will — whatever the size — ensures we can keep:
✔ Responding to human rights emergencies worldwide
✔ Supporting grassroots activists and Indigenous communities
✔ Fighting to free prisoners of conscience
✔ Holding governments to account — wherever they are
"Amnesty International stands for my favourite words: Justice, Hope, Dignity, and Freedom. From setting international standards to working for the release of prisoners of conscience, Amnesty’s human rights work makes me so proud. I have added a legacy gift to Amnesty in my Will, so my favourite words will live on."
— Betty Mason-Parker, Amnesty Advocate, Dunedin
Just like Betty, you too can leave a legacy of justice, hope, dignity, and freedom.
“ It was a no-brainer. I was constantly writing letters about human rights issues in the eighties. And when I had to write my first Will, of course Amnesty was in it. It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness.”
— Barbara, Amnesty supporter
Barbara knows that injustice doesn’t stop — and neither should we. She’s chosen to go one step further than just speaking out: to make her commitment part of her legacy.
