Amnesty International is een in het Verenigd Koninkrijk gevestigde non-gouvernementele organisatie die zich richt op mensenrechten. De verklaarde missie is om te strijden voor "een wereld waarin ieder mens geniet van alle mensenrechten zoals vastgelegd in de Universele Verklaring van de Rechten van de Mens en andere internationale instrumenten inzake mensenrechten". In 2016 gaf Amnesty de opdracht voor "Here I Stand", een verzameling korte verhalen, illustraties en gedichten over het thema mensenrechten, gericht op jongeren. Deze initiatieven benadrukken de universele waarde en het belang van de bescherming van mensenrechten voor iedereen.
