Domestic violence videos ahead of International Women's Day to kick-start human rights debate on 'Speaker's Corner Online'
Amnesty International is to put its hard-hitting domestic violence videos on the online video debate site Friction.tv (www.Friction.tv).
Appearing on the newly-launched "Amnesty" channel at www.friction.tv/amnestyinternational in time for International Women's Day on 8 March, they will feature Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart speaking about domestic violence in his family background, and Patrick and TV star Joanna Lumley doing voice-overs for an innovative "talking knuckles" domestic violence animation film. Other Amnesty-content videos are set to follow.
Amnesty International, the world's biggest human rights organisation - with a quarter of million supporters in the UK, and 2.2 million worldwide - has already launched numerous campaigns and human rights initiatives through online social media.
