Amnesty International is an international non-governmental organisation whose stated mission is "to conduct research and generate actions to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights, and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated." Amnesty was founded in London on July 1961 by Peter Benenson. 
It all started with an article Peter published called "The Forgotten Prisoners". He wrote the article after learning that two Portuguese students was imprisoned for raising a toast to freedom. The article was reprinted in newspapers across the world and provoked a flood of responses from the readers and marshalling groups in several countries to examine human rights abuses.The appeal marks the beginning of Amnesty International, founded in London the same year following the publication. 
The organisation was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize for its "campaign against torture", and the United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights in 1978.

Most people have access to their own human rights, but some of them don't. Many children all around the world are forced to work at extreme conditions from a very young age.

How does it make you feel?  What does this tell us about people and their human rights?

It makes me feel very sorry for the people who are in various kinds of difficult situations and provokes me into standing up for them. This tells us that a lot of people still do not have access to their human rights
