Our main campaigns at the moment (a) to maintain a UN Peace Keepers Presence in Eastern Chad where refugees escaping ethnic cleansing in Darfur are living in makeshift camps. Refugees from Chad’s civil war are also seeking shelter there, as are refugees from the Central African Rebublic.
In Ireland, we’re campaigning on mental health. Individuals with mental health problems are facing extremely high rates of unemployment, housing difficulties and discrimination. Things must change.
Our newest campaign is on LGBT issues which is evolving at the moment. If you would like to help with any of the campaigns, please email amnesty.cork@gmail.com
