The Working Group for Human Rights is open to all those who wish to campaign for the protection of human rights worldwide. We contribute to human rights education, draw public attention to human rights violations and campaign at the highest level for the elimination of abuses. To this end, we organize information stands and events, such as film evenings at the Dortmunder Auslandsgesellschaft or the “Human Rights Slam” at Subrosa. We also collect signatures for the release of non-violent political prisoners. In order to maintain our neutrality, we concentrate on reports of human rights violations abroad. Exceptions to this are, for example, the topics of flight and asylum. Overall, we are closely aligned with the aims and methods of Amnesty International, from which we also obtain our information and material. (However, we are also happy to work with other organizations). In fact, the Human Rights Working Group was previously known as the Amnesty International University Group.

We meet every first Tuesday (7pm) and every third Thursday (8pm) of the month respectively in the Amnesty-Office Dortmund, Siegfriedstraße 12, 44137 Dortmund. Come along, we look forward to seeing you!
