As the UNCW student chapter representing Amnesty International in Wilmington, we work to further the goals of Amnesty International on UNCW's campus, and in the surrounding community. Amnesty International (AI) is the Nobel Peace Prize winning organization that fights for human rights across the globe. The goal ofAmnesty International (AI) and ofour student chapter is simple: Protect Human Rights. You may wonder if you can really make a difference, so here are just a few examples of the many people and causes that have been helped by AI: http://web.amnesty.org/pages/aboutai-goodnews-eng/
