Amnesty International has a “toxic” working environment, with widespread bullying, public humiliation, discrimination and other abuses of power, a report has found.
A review into workplace culture, commissioned after two staff members killed themselves last year, found a dangerous “us versus them” dynamic, and a severe lack of trust in senior management, which threatened Amnesty’s credibility as a human rights champion.
Appeal to Ms. Federica Mogerini, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the European Union with a request to support the company against corruption and terrorism
Dear Mrs. Minister!
With this statement, we announce the establishment of the International Human Rights Foundation “Mutabar Tadjibayeva” to combat organized crime against humanity (hereinafter referred to as IHRF “Mutabar Tadjibayeva”).
It was very important for us to announce the creation of the IHRF “Mutabar Tadjibayeva”, on November 25, as this day is connected with a significant event, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) (Resolution 54/134).
The founders of the IHRF “Mutabar Tadjibayeva” are women-activists of civil society, human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and representatives of other public organizations that were victims of political repression, torture and later became victims of organized criminal groups (OCG), which are guarded and sponsored by representatives of some International Human Rights Organizations and Funds with famous names and journalists of some International media.
Handing Engel – du Tertre (Award of ACAT Foundation to Madam Mutabar Tadjibayeva)
Dear friends,
I am excited that a 40-year anniversary of our organization ACAT Foundation is enlightened by this moment full of excitement, happiness and unforgettable emotions.
During our recent Board meeting we have decided to establish an award for the work in the field of human rights protection… but we were faced by a dilemma of coming up with a proper name for this award. On the eve of a 40-year anniversary of our organization we have been thinking about two Protestant women – Hélène Engel and Édith du Tertre who founded ACAT. Without their efforts we couldn’t have been here today! (I am indeed happy to tell you that today several family members of Hélène Engel and Édith du Tertre are also attending this event). As a tribute to the courage and faith of those two women we decided to name the new award we were establishing Engel – du Tertre Award.
