Violence against women and girls is a human rights crisis.
But far-right actors are weaponising it to spread racism, Islamophobia and division.
This is failing survivors while inflaming hate.

All states, including the UK, must refrain from any conduct that could fuel further violations. States have a clear obligation not to aid or assist internationally wrongful acts and a duty to bring such breaches to an end.

Iranian authorities have denied Narges Mohammadi access to adequate and timely health care despite her poor health and torture related injuries.
The Iranian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Narges Mohammadi.
Since her arbitrary arrest on 12th December 2025, Iran's authorities have denied her access to family and lawyers, including in court, and have held her incommunicado in harsh conditions in a Mashhad detention facility.
Amidst an ongoing crackdown on dissent in the aftermath of the January protest massacres in Iran, a Court convicted human rights defender Narges Mohammadi for her human rights activism after a grossly unfair trial and sentenced her to 7.5 years in prison.

A human rights-focused government can deliver on what matters most to people in Gorton & Denton and the country.

Amnesty International urges the Home Secretary to reconsider appealing the judgement, respect the court’s decision and accept the proscription was wrong.
The Met Police have said they will focus on ‘gathering evidence’ rather than making arrests. But this means peaceful protesters could still be arrested later - rather than at the protests - and get up to six months in prison for holding a sign.
The High Court has ruled the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. But the proscription is still in place.
We went to Gorton & Denton in Manchester - where tomorrow there is a by-election - to hear what people want from their new MP.
The message was loud and clear: fix the housing crisis and bring communities together.
Today marks four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian civilians continue to endure daily indiscriminate attacks and this year was the deadliest in terms of civilian casualties since 2022.
The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan has stated that the killings in El-Fasher bear the "hallmarks of genocide”.
This underscores the gravity of what civilians have endured and reinforces the urgent need for justice in Sudan.
The BBC’s decision to cut this section of Akinola Davies Jr’s speech when the Baftas was broadcast later in the day is shameful.
Amnesty remains committed to supporting and protecting Iranian human rights defenders so they can continue their vital work documenting abuses and advocating for human rights and justice for the people of Iran who are risking everything for freedom.
