People seeking safety are facing discrimination, violence, and systemic injustice.
Whether it’s a mother and her children fleeing violence in Venezuela or a family escaping missile strikes in Ukraine, everyday people are fleeing their lives.
Instead of being able to rebuild their lives, they are being detained, discriminated against, and denied their right to asylum.
The global refugee crisis is a stark reminder of the urgent need for compassion, solidarity and a comprehensive approach to protect the rights and dignity of those forced to flee their homes.
By addressing the immediate needs of refugees and promoting their long-term well-being, we strive to create a world where all individuals, regardless of their refugee status, can live in dignity and realize their full potential.
Through education, awareness-raising, and advocating we are building a more inclusive and caring home for refugees, creating a society that celebrates diversity and embraces newcomers.
By advocating for human rights, holding perpetrators accountable for abuses, and addressing the impacts of the climate crisis, we strive to create a world where individuals are not forcibly displaced from their communities and can live in safety and dignity.
We have a responsibility to protect the rights of people who have been forced to flee war and persecution, who are often quite vulnerable, but have so much to offer our country. Seeking asylum is a human right and countries should welcome people in need, rather than detaining them.

Over the past six years, Amnesty International Aotearoa has campaigned to end Australia’s offshore detention centres. Amnesty has advocated for the Australian Government to accept the New Zealand offer of welcoming up to 150 people in offshore detention per year.
Last year the offer was finally accepted. It was a hard-won victory, and in November, the first people touched down in Aotearoa and started their new lives.
Now these people – left in limbo offshore by the Australian Government’s brutal offshore detention policy – will now have the opportunity to restart their lives.
TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE A BETTER VISION FOR HUMANITY
By joining forces, we can break down barriers, challenge oppressive systems, and foster a world where human rights thrive.
Our shared vision for humanity can become a transformative force for change, igniting a global movement towards justice and compassion.
