>> 41 human rights wins to celebrate right now

The human rights implications of the Covid-19 pandemic are huge and ongoing. Repressive legislation brought in by authoritarian countries across the world threatens many of the human rights we have campaigned for over the last 60 years. But there have also been incredible examples of solidarity between neighbours, nations, friends and strangers.

These are tough times, but we believe a post Covid-19 world can be a better world. Together we are, and we will, be at the centre of that change.

Thank you for being a part of these successes. We could not do any of this vital and life-saving work without you.

Sincerely,

The Team at Amnesty International in Canada
