We all deserve better. A world where human rights come first, not last. #HumanityMustWin
Yesterday marked three years since the conflict began in Sudan. We cannot remain silent or passive in the face of such human suffering. It is time to stand in solidarity with the people of Sudan.

However, it was noted with concern that since assuming the chairmanship in 2017, Zimbabwe has not convened such platforms to advance coordinated continental action to protect and assist internally displaced persons.
Amnesty International emphasised Zimbabwe’s responsibility, as Chair of the Bureau of the African Conference of the Parties under the Kampala Convention, to convene African states to address climate-induced internal displacement.
The engagement highlighted the growing impact of climate change, which is driving more frequent & severe droughts, floods, & cyclones, leading to increased internal displacement.
On 9 April 2026, we engaged with Zimbabwe’s Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Climate, Environment & Wildlife to discuss the country’s continental leadership role in operationalising the African Union Convention on the Protection & Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons (Kampala Convention).

Freedom of expression is a human right. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media.
Amnesty International strongly condemns the violent attacks witnessed during the public hearings held at City Sports Centre in Harare.
Zimbabwe: Authorities must guarantee free expression and safety during and after public hearings.

Our differences aren’t the problem.
The divide comes from refusing to recognise, accept, and celebrate them - as Audre Lorde warned.
Justice means dismantling the discrimination that targets those differences.
Another world is possible when no one is asked to shrink, hide, or disappear.

Together we can speak up for those who speak out for all of us.✊

This Women's Month, we stand with #women and #girls around the world to demand equal rights – and equal justice to enforce, exercise, and enjoy those rights.
