Amnesty International Japan
If you have been hiding in a cave somewhere, you might not be aware that Amnesty International Japan fights for human rights in Japan and around the world.
There are branches of this great NPO all over the world, fighting for justice, fighting to free people imprisoned under unfair rules,fighting for the innocent and the weak when they are treated badly,or even violently.
Japan like all nations has problems. Amnesty tries to improve the country for everyone.
I suspect that Amnesty has helped to get Japan to sign the Hague Convention on child abduction, which is great news for foreign parents of biracial children in Japan, as many have been kidnapped and brought back to Japan. These parents have had little recourse until now.
