Amnesty International has a culture of white privilege with incidents of overt racism including senior staff using the N-word and micro-aggressive behaviour such as the touching of black colleagues’ hair, according to an internal review into its secretariat.

It came as eight current and former employees of Amnesty International UK (AIUK) described their own experiences of racial discrimination and issued a statement calling on senior figures to stand down.

One of the whistleblowers, Katherine Odukoya, said: “We joined Amnesty hoping to campaign against human rights abuses but were instead let down through realising that the organisation actually helped perpetuate them.”

 

Time for them to be cancelled.

I didn't work for Amnesty International, but for another international nonprofit with a well known "brand name."

 

I can confirm that many staff in the European head office had the same attitude with its satellite offices, especially to those employees with origins in the global south.

It is not surprising.  Anyone that travels internationally extensively and learns of the various cultures around the world will see that there is a lot of overt and covert racism outside the US.

Cancel them, overtly and covertly!
