NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT
UPDATE: Any gift you give until 30 June will be MATCHED up to $200,000 thanks to a group of generous Amnesty supporters, doubling your impact and supporting Amnesty’s most vital work.
What was once unthinkable in a country becomes policy a few months later. What was once only a characteristic of authoritarian regimes is starting to emerge in democratic countries around the world.
The authoritarian playbook, employed by the Taliban in Afghanistan is also being used in China, Myanmar, the USA, by governments that have learned the same lesson: silence the voices that challenge you, and you can get away with almost anything, with frightening consequences for human rights.
Amnesty researchers are on the ground – documenting, verifying, publishing evidence, ensuring that what is happening cannot be buried, dismissed or forgotten.
Those who consider themselves above the law can be defeated with the counter-playbook. In July 2025, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Taliban leaders for their crimes against humanity in persecuting women and girls. This is the counter-playbook: Document. Pressure. Win.
Humanity wins when we resist, together. Say NO. Act NOW. Donate before 30 June.

ABOUT MATCHED GIVING
Funding for this matched giving campaign has been provided by a group of generous donors who have agreed to match supporter donations to Amnesty International Australia. These donors have chosen to remain anonymous and not be acknowledged by Amnesty International Australia through its communications.
Donations will be matched up to the amount of $200,000. Once donations to this campaign exceed $200,000, the matched giving campaign will be stopped. Donations made over $200,000 will not be matched. This page will be updated to advise once the matched giving amount is reached.
In unforeseeable circumstances that mean the matched giving donor cannot fulfil their commitment, we will make reasonable efforts to contact those who have donated during the campaign. Amnesty International Australia reserves the right to amend, extend or stop the campaign based on operational needs and compliance with applicable regulations.
